Pumpkin Spice Soft Sugar Cookies

The reason for that is that powdered sugar has cornstarch in it, which helps give a soft texture to cookies and other baked goods.

Recipe Summary Pumpkin Spice Soft Sugar Cookies

If a homemade pumpkin pie and a soft sugar cookie had little cookies of their own, well, let these speak for themselves. Add your favorite seasoned nuts if you wish. I happened to have had some caramelized sugar I had previously made and I crushed this up and added to the top of some of the cookies just before baking.

Pour 1/4 cup sugar into a shallow bowl.

Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Moisten the bottom of a glass with water and dip the glass in sugar. Gently flatten each drop of cookie dough with the bottom of the sugared glass.
