Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cookies:
  • 1¼ Cups Light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ Cup Unsalted butter
  • 1¼ Cups Pumpkin puree
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 2½ Cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg
  • 2 tsp Ginger
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp Salt
For the spiced glaze: (optional)
  • ½ Cup Powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 Pinch Cinnamon
  • 1 Pinch Nutmeg
  • 1 Pinch All-spice
  • 1 Pinch Ginger
  • 1 Pinch Cloves

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl cream together softened butter and brown sugar.
  3. Add pumpkin to the creamed sugar and vanilla and mix until combined well.
  4. Add in spices, flour, baking soda, baking powder to the pumpkin mixture and fold until combined.
    Batter will be very sticky.
  5. For giant cookies, use a 1/3 cup to measure out 11 cookies and place on the prepared baking sheet apprx 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-13 min or until slightly golden on top.
  6. For normal sized cookies use a tablespoon and scoop the cookie dough placing about 1.5-2in apart. Bake for 10-13 min or until slightly golden on top.
  7. Let sit on the baking sheet for at least 30 min before moving or eating! You'll thank me later for not skipping this step.
Spiced Glaze
  1. While cookies are baking, stir together all of the ingredients for the spiced glaze. If it is too thick, you can add more almond milk little at a time until you get your desired consistency.
    You can also omit all spices and opt for a pumpkin spice if that's easier and use ½ tsp!
  2. Once the cookies are cooled, use a spoon or fork to drizzle over top each cookie.
