Instructions
Making Pumpkin Pie Sugar Cookies is a simple process. Follow these steps to create these delectable treats:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Pumpkin and Egg: Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
6. Scoop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for keeping them soft.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
