Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Equipment

  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cookie sheets
  • silicone spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use convection bake if you have it.
  2. Grease 1-2 cookie sheets (or line them with parchment paper) and set them aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or a stand mixer, cream softened butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
  4. Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree. Mix until combined then scrape down the bowl once complete.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, baking soda, baking powder, salt).
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3-4 portions, mixing after each addition.
  7. Place the bowl in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
  8. Roll the dough into 1-inch dough balls and toss them in granulated sugar. Place them on the cookie sheet, leaving 1-2 inches in between each cookie.
  9. Bake the cookies for 14-18 minutes or until the bottoms have browned.
  10. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately top each one with a Hershey kiss (press the kiss down lightly into the cookie). Allow them to cool to room temperature before eating them.
