These pumpkin spice ginger cookies are my go-to fall treat—soft in the middle, full of warm spices, and just sweet enough. Perfect for cozy afternoons, cookie swaps, or whenever you want your kitchen to smell like autumn. Plus, they’re easy to make with simple pantry ingredients like flour, coconut oil, molasses, and pumpkin puree!
Ingredients
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup coconut oil, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, pumpkin pie spice and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine coconut oil and sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Add pumpkin, molasses, and vanilla extract and beat until all ingredients are combined.
4. Stir flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just blended.
5. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place two inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set but still slightly soft.
6. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 2 minutes after removing from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes: I don’t recommend using blackstrap molasses. The dough can be refrigerated for up to two days.
