Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, finely chopped (1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger can be substituted)
  • 1 cup cinnamon baking chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 -4 tablespoons sugar

Method

  • Combine 1/2 c sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  • Cut 5 Tbsp butter into dry ingredients until crumbly.
  • In separate bowl combine the egg, pumpkin, sour cream and ginger.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Mix in cinnamon chips.
  • Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead 10x. I add extra flour here as the dough is usually a bit moist.
  • Divide dough in half and form each half into a 1/2 inch thick circle.
  • Cut each circle into 8 wedges.
  • Brush wedges with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake on ungreased cookie sheet in preheated 425 degree oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden on edges.
