Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the vanilla glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding more cream if needed.
Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the vanilla glaze over the top using a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Cookies with a Vanilla Glaze!
