For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough for extra crunch and flavor. These cookies are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. For a more intense pumpkin flavor, add 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree to the dough, reducing the flour by 1/4 cup.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together 2 cups of sugar and the softened butter until light and fluffy. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth. (Approximately 1 minute)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. (Approximately 1 minute)
04
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)
05
StepCover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
06
StepPreheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray.
07
StepPour the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar into a shallow dish. Fill another small bowl with water.
08
StepRoll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
09
StepDip the bottom of a smooth, flat-bottomed glass into the water, then immediately dip it into the sugar. Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the sugared glass, re-wetting and re-sugaring as needed.
10
StepBake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set. Do not overbake for soft cookies.
11
StepLet the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
