Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Shape and Bake
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
  2. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
