Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 60 servings

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 1 cup shortening

  • ½ cup pumpkin puree

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 tablespoon cream of tartar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • ¼ cup white sugar, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Combine 1 1/2 cup sugar and shortening in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in pumpkin puree and eggs.

  3. Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves together in a bowl. Fold into shortening mixture until a sticky dough forms.

  4. Place 1/4 cup sugar in a shallow bowl. Shape spoonfuls of dough into small balls. Roll in sugar and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Roll cookies in cinnamon sugar instead of white sugar if preferred.
