Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sticks (266 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (298 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups (330 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (for coating)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing fully after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and pumpkin pie spice for coating.
  8. Roll dough into balls (1.5 to 2 tablespoons each) and coat them in the sugar-spice mixture.
  9. Place dough balls on baking sheets at least 3 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

  • Chill the dough to prevent cookies from spreading too much.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients for smooth mixing.
  • Weigh ingredients for accurate baking results.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature.
  • Swirl a cookie cutter around fresh-baked cookies to make them perfectly round.
