Summary

Soft, fluffy pumpkin cookies warmly spiced and rolled in cinnamon-sugar, with a delicate sourdough tang for depth and balance.

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small-medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda; set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk melted, cooled butter with brown sugar and 1/4 cup of the white sugar for about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined.

  4. 4

    Stir in pumpkin puree and sourdough discard until well combined.

  5. 5

    Fold dry ingredients into wet just until a soft dough forms. Cover and refrigerate 2–3 hours or up to overnight.

  6. 6

    When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.

  7. 7

    In a small dish, mix remaining 1/4 cup white sugar with remaining 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.

  8. 8

    Divide dough into 12 equal portions; roll each into a ball/disc, coat in the sugar-spice mixture, and place on the prepared sheet.

  9. 9

    Bake 12–14 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft. Cool on the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
