Preparation Steps

  • Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix in the pumpkin puree until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
  • Scoop 2 tablespoon sized balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for about an hour or roll into balls if preferred.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes until edges are set.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon milk in a bowl until smooth. Add more milk if needed.
  • Drizzle the glaze over cooled cookies and let it dry before serving.

Notes

These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently before serving if desired.
