  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the coating sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls, roll in cinnamon sugar, and place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  8. Gently flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
