Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
¾ cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • Beat shortening, 1 cup white sugar, and light brown sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in pumpkin puree; beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, cream of tartar, salt, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into pumpkin mixture until dough is just-combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and allspice together in a small bowl. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each ball with a flat-bottomed glass.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 12 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
