Ingredients

For Cookies:

2 sticks (266 grams) unsalted butter softened
1 ½ cups (298 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups (330 grams) all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

For Sugar Mixture:

¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

For Cookies:

In a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat to combine.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl combine the sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
Make scoops of cookie dough about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons in size. Roll the cookie dough in the sugar mixture until fully coated. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. Place at least 3 inches apart on the prepared pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the cookie sheet.

Notes

Chill your cookie dough. I know skipping this step is tempting (you want your cookies as quickly as possible and I can’t blame you for that!) but don’t do it! Chilling cookie dough prevents the cookies from overspreading. This can cause them to be thinner, and crispier, and change the overall flavor of the end product.
Don’t use cold ingredients. Ensure that all of your cold ingredients are at room temperature before making your cookies. The ingredients will combine much easier and you won’t have chunks of cold butter in your cookie dough, which can lead to greasy cookies.
