Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and pumpkin puree until light and fluffy.
2. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for rolling the cookies.
8. Take about 1-2 tablespoons of the chilled dough and roll it into a ball, then roll the dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat it evenly.
9. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
11. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Repeat the rolling and baking process with the remaining dough.
13. Once cooled, enjoy the soft and flavorful Pumpkin Snickerdoodles!
