Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 120 grams pumpkin puree
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 120 grams powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, 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 tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Cookies with a Vanilla Glaze!
