Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ cup white sugar, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2
Combine 1 1/2 cup sugar and shortening in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in pumpkin puree and eggs.

Step 3
Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves together in a bowl. Fold into shortening mixture until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4
Place 1/4 cup sugar in a shallow bowl. Shape spoonfuls of dough into small balls. Roll in sugar and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

Roll cookies in cinnamon sugar instead of white sugar if preferred.
