Light, airy, and sweet spice cookies. I developed this recipe as a way to enjoy the rest of the can of pumpkin. Store in an airtight container.
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.
