How to Make Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup pumpkin puree.
  8. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  10. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
  11. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  12. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as oven temperatures can vary.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
