Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops feel slightly firm to the touch.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, milk, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the tops using a spoon, or dip the tops of the cookies directly into the glaze for a thicker coating.
Allow the glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pumpkin Glazed Pumpkin Cookies!
