Pumpkin Rollout Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in egg until smooth. Mix pumpkin and vanilla extract into creamed butter mixture; add cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir flour into pumpkin-butter mixture just until dough is mixed. Refrigerate dough, 2 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roll dough on a floured work surface and cut into shapes using cookie cutters. Arrange cookies on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF In a large mixing bowl, combine with electric mixer the butter, brown sugar and orange zest.
• Add the pumpkin, egg yolk, and vanilla.
• Gradually add the flour and spices.
• Mix with your hands to create a soft dough.
• Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Divide dough into two pieces.
• Roll out each piece to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface.
• Cut into shapes with cookie cutters.
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.
• Optional: Decorate with favorite frosting and candies if desired.

Steps:

• Place the butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla. Beat until just combined.
• Whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin spice mix, the baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Pour half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with the remaining half of the dry ingredients until a thick dough comes together. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine the granulated sugar with the remaining 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix in a small bowl.
• Shape the cookie dough using a heaping tablespoon and roll between your palms to form a round ball. Repeat until all the dough is rolled into balls. Place the balls into the spiced sugar and toss until completely coated. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Use your palms or the tines of a fork to press the cookies into thick disks.
• Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
