• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg to the creamed mixture. Mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the tops look set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Step 11

Serve the cookies with a warm beverage and enjoy the magical flavors of autumn!
