Instructions

Making Pumpkin-Spice Sugar Cookies is straightforward if you follow these steps carefully:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add Pumpkin and Egg: Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
7. Scoop the Dough: Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool the Cookies: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Optional Glaze: If desired, mix powdered sugar with a little milk to create a glaze and drizzle over cooled cookies.
