If a homemade pumpkin pie and a soft sugar cookie had little cookies of their own, the result might be these pumpkin spice sugar cookies! Add your favorite seasoned nuts if desired.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups white sugar, divided, or as needed
- 1 ½ cups butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Beat 2 cups sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth.
Step 2
Sift flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt together. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat until flour is completely incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray baking sheets with cooking spray.
Step 4
Pour remaining 1/4 cup sugar into a shallow bowl. Fill another small bowl with water.
Step 5
Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Moisten the bottom of a glass with water, then dip it in sugar. Gently flatten cookie dough with the bottom of the sugared glass, rewetting and dipping as necessary.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until set, 5 to 7 minutes.
Tips
When flattening the cookies, try caramelized sugar instead of white sugar if desired.
