Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg yolk to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the middle.

Step 8

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

Step 9

While the cookies cool, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.

Step 10

Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 11

Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your pumpkin pie cookies!
