Soft Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups white sugar, divided, or as needed
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • cooking spray
Instructions
1
Combine sugar and butter in a large mixing container using an electric mixer until they form a smooth, creamy consistency. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the mixture, continuing to blend until it is fully smooth.
2
In a separate container, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Sift these dry ingredients together to ensure they are well-blended.
3
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the sugar and butter mixture, blending until every last bit of flour is fully incorporated.
4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, allowing it to chill and firm up.
5
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray the baking sheets with cooking spray.
6
Divide the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar into a shallow dish. Fill another small container with water.
7
Spoonfuls of the cookie dough should be dropped onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
8
To shape the cookies, moisten the bottom of a glass with water and then dip it into the remaining sugar. Gently press the cookie dough onto the sugared glass, rewetting and re-dipping as necessary to achieve the desired shape.
9
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the cookies are set, taking 5 to 7 minutes.
