These Pumpkin Spice Roll Out Cookies are going to make your kitchen smell of sugar and spice and everything nice for your little witches and goblins on Halloween. They have just the right amount of pumpkin flavor, they’re soft, but hold up to the dough being rolled out and cut into shapes as well as being a ton of fun to decorate. The best part is that you can make the dough ahead of time so you can cut the cookies out into fun Halloween shapes with your kids whenever you have time. We love using a powdered sugar icing on them, but you can use any frosting you enjoy or serve them on their own!

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

In the bowl of a standing mixer or with an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.

Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.

Turn the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture. Continue to mix until the dough comes together.

Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. When the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 325F.

Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick, and use cookie cutters to cut into shapes.

Transfer to a silpat-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Dough Before Rolling 🧊
Refrigerate your pumpkin dough for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before rolling to prevent stickiness and ensure clean, crisp cookie shapes that hold their definition during baking.
Use Parchment Paper for Easy Transfer ✨
Roll out your dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking and make transferring cut shapes to baking sheets effortless without distorting them.
Toast Your Spices First 🎃
Lightly bloom your pumpkin pie spice in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the dough to intensify and deepen the warm spice flavors throughout the cookies.
Balance Pumpkin Puree Moisture 💧
Use pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling) and reduce other liquid slightly if your dough seems too wet, as pumpkin varies in water content and affects dough consistency for proper rolling.
Underbake Slightly for Softness 🍪
Remove cookies from the oven when edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet and stay beautifully soft and chewy inside.
