Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon table salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ⅔ cups pumpkin flavored morsels Nestle makes them seasonally
For Cream Cheese Icing:
- 4 oz cream cheese melted
- 1 TB salted butter melted
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 TB milk
- ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the melted butter and both sugars together until completely smooth and incorporated. Whisk in vanilla and pumpkin until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, hand-whisk together the remaining cookie ingredients except for pumpkin morsels. Using rubber spatula, fold together the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Don't over-mix; the dough will be very soft. Fold in morsels. Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight (Dough must be chilled to bake properly.)
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees, with rack on lower middle position. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into 1.5 TB sized balls and place 2 inches apart on lined baking sheet. Slightly flatten the dough balls. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes. Cookies may appear soft and under-baked. They will further set upon cooling. If they didn't spread out much, you can slightly flatten a bit once out of oven.
- Allow cookies to cool completely. Meanwhile, make the cream cheese icing. Combine all icing ingredients in a bowl, whisking together to combine well. Transfer to a sturdy Ziploc bag. Squeeze air out of bag and seal tightly. Cut small hole at one end of bag. Drizzle icing over cooled cookies.
