Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookie Recipes

It is that time of year again. I absolutely love Fall.  Cool breeze in the air, leaves falling off the tree, well if you are outside of Florida, and pumpkin spice everything! So I hope you are ready for a fantastic pumpkin cookie recipe because I am sharing the BEST pumpkin cookie recipe today. These Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies are hands down the best pumpkin cookies I have ever made or eaten.

Pumpkin cookies traditionally have a little cinnamon in them, but I wanted the cinnamon to really pop in these so I added an extra healthy dose of ground cinnamon and cinnamon chips to the dough. The finishing touch is rolling the dough in the cinnamon sugar mix to give it that extra flavorful kick!

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup pumpkin (we use Libby’s canned pumpkin)
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup cinnamon chips

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with Silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside for later.
3. In your mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
4. Add the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla and mix until combined, about 3 minutes.
5. Slowly add in the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
