Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Stand Mixer
  • USA Pan Cookie Sheets

Ingredients
 
 

Dough

  • 113 grams salted butter (softened)
  • 113 grams cane sugar
  • 113 grams dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 113 grams pumpkin puree
  • 340 grams all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground vanilla bean
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Topping

  • 57 grams cane sugar
  • 71 grams powdered sugar (sifted)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper, or no need if you’re using USA Pan!
  • To make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, cane sugar, and dark brown sugar. Mix on low speed until combined and there are no chunks of butter. Add the egg and pumpkin and mix just slightly, enough to break the yolks.
  • In a separate bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, vanilla bean, baking soda, and sea salt, and whisk together. Add to the butter mixture and mix on low until combined into a smooth dough.
  • In a small bowl, add the cane sugar for the topping. And in a separate bowl, add the powdered sugar for topping. Using your hands, form the dough into 24 balls and roll them in the cane sugar first, then in the powdered sugar and flatten them slightly so they are about 2-inches in diameter. Place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 1-inch apart.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cracked and dry around the edges. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Notes

Tips
  • Always weigh ingredients for the best reslts.
  • I use my stand mixer for ease, but if you want to use a hand mixer you can do that as well.
  • The trick to perfect crinkle cookies is rolling the cookie dough in cane sugar first, then in powdered sugar. This ensure that the powdered sugar doesn't just melt into the cookies when baking. So, don't skip this step!
  • These cookies are soft and chewy, so they are best stored in an airtight container.
  • You can freeze these in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Just thaw and enjoy!
  • Gluten Free — Replace the flour with 354 grams (2 ¼ cups plus 2 tablespoons) gluten free flour blend.
  • High Altitude — Bake at 375°F for 9 to 11 minutes or until cracked and dry around the edges.
