Ingredients

Scale
  • 226 g (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 200 g light brown sugar
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (50 g without shell), room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 35 g (2 tablespoons) molasses
  • 56 g canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp allspice
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 295 g all-purpose flour
  • 50 g sugar (for rolling)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, molasses, and pumpkin puree. Beat until well incorporated.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and ginger in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Combine the sugar and cinnamon for rolling in a small bowl.
  7. Scoop out the dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden, but centers appear soft.
  10. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for about 30 minutes for thicker cookies. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
