Soft pumpkin sugar cookies perfect for decorating with royal icing. This recipe makes cut-out cookies that hold their shape and can be made ahead.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, salt, and flour.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Decorate with your favorite icing once fully cooled.

Notes

  • The dough can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • For best results when decorating, ensure cookies are completely cool.
  • Adjust baking time slightly based on cookie thickness and oven calibration.
