There is just something about the Fall time that makes me want to bake, make soups and eat all the comfort food. Recently, I posted about pumpkin sugar cookies. This isn't my recipe, all the credit goes to Lisa at Wine and Glue. My mom makes these killer pumpkin cookies, but I will rarely make them because they are never as good as my makes them. Plus if I ask, she usually will make these for me. And bonus, the girls love them.
Anyways, I love sugar cookies and I love pumpkin cookies, so when I saw this recipe combining them, I knew I had to make it. The pumpkin is light and the cookies are fluffy. It is the perfect Fall cookie.
PUMPKIN SUGAR COOKIES
By: Lisa at Wine and Glue
Makes 24 cookies
1 1/2 cups of sugar plus some for rolling the cookies in
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
14 tbl unsalted butter (1 3/4 stick) at room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
2. Using your mixer, mix together the butter and sugar on medium until it is light and fluffy.
3. Mix in the egg yolk, then vanilla and then the pumpkin puree.
4. Turn your mixer down to low and slowly mix in the flour mixture. I put in a small portion at a time, so it does not gum up your paddle. Scrap the sides to make sure the flour mixture is thoroughly combined.
5. Put your dough in fridge for 20 minutes. While your dough is setting, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
6. Roll your dough into one inch balls. Roll the balls in sugar and place on a silicon mat or parchment lined cookie sheet. Make sure to space your cookies out (around 2 inches) and gently press them down.
Silpat (I use it for all my baking)
7. Bake for 15 minutes, rotating your cookie sheet halfway through.
8. Cool on your cookie sheet for two minutes and then move the cookies to a cooling rack.
9. Enjoy!
