Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- For the spiced sugar coating:
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until combined.
- Gradually add the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- To make the spiced sugar coating, combine the granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the spiced sugar mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls onto a baking sheet, leaving space between each one to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy. These cookies pair wonderfully with a warm cup of tea or coffee.
Notes
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature to create a smooth dough.
- Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour to keep the cookies tender.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a touch of extra cinnamon on top before baking.
