Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter softened to room temp
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice

Instructions

Make the cookie dough!

  • Combine all the dry ingredients and set aside, including flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
  • Cream together sugar and butter using an electric mixer. Add the pumpkin, molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, and together until well combined.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients 1/2 cup at a time until well incorporated. Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 1-2 hours. 
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Ready to bake!

  • Once you are ready to bake, in a small bowl 1/2 cup of sugar and mix in the 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice or, just leave the sugar as is.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll cookie dough-sized balls (a little less than a tablespoon) of dough in sugar & pumpkin spice mixture until well coated and place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. You should be able to fit 12-15 piece of dough on one baking sheet.
  • Bake for 13-14 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes before you remove them. Repeat with remaining dough.
