Stages of cooking
-
Beat 2 cups sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth.
-
Sift flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt together. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat until flour is completely incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray baking sheets with cooking spray.
-
Pour remaining 1/4 cup sugar into a shallow bowl. Fill another small bowl with water.
-
Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Moisten the bottom of a glass with water, then dip it in sugar. Gently flatten cookie dough with the bottom of the sugared glass, rewetting and dipping as necessary.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until set, 5 to 7 minutes.
