Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and orange zest until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, gently folding until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Allow the scone cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, prepare the orange glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth.
Once the scones are cool, drizzle the orange glaze over each scone or decorate as desired. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
