- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg (or flax egg)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon sugar coating)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar coating)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

- Place the cookie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
