Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chewy Pumpkin Sugar Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add in the pumpkin puree, mixing until fully combined with the butter and sugars.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, form dough balls, roll them gently, place them on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Once chilled, place the dough balls on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Always drain excess moisture from the pumpkin puree. Refrigerating the dough for at least 30 minutes ensures that the cookies are thick and chewy.
