These irresistible pumpkin spice sugar cookies are the ultimate soft and chewy treat, perfect for cozy fall afternoons or festive holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60g) pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 2 minutes.
  3. Mix in pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice mix.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto your lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underdone.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if it feels too sticky.’, ‘Use fresh pumpkin spice mix for the best flavor.’, ‘Pull cookies out when edges are set but centers are soft for a chewy texture.’]
