Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

3¼ cups all-purpose flour

3½ tsp. cornstarch

1 tsp. cream of tartar

1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. baking powder

½ + 1/8 tsp. salt

1½ tsp. ground cinnamon

½ tsp. ground ginger

½ tsp. ground nutmeg

¼ tsp. ground allspice

1 cup granulated sugar

¾ cup packed light brown sugar

1 cup butter, softened

1 large egg yolk

¾ cup canned pumpkin puree

1½ tsp. vanilla extract

½ cup granulated sugar

3 tsp. ground cinnamon

In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice: set aside.

Cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until just combined. Mix in egg yolk, then mix in pumpkin and vanilla extract. On low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients; mix until just combined. (You can chill the dough)

Preheat oven to 350°.   In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar with 3 tsp. cinnamon. Scoop tablespoon size dough ball, roll in cinnamon sugar mixture to evenly coat then transfer to lined baking sheets spacing cookies 2-inches apart. Bake 12 - 14 minutes (they should look just slightly under-baked as they'll cook slightly once removed from oven).

Cool on baking sheet about 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
