Ingredients
Pumpkin Cookies
- 1 cup butter at cool room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cup all-purpose flour properly measured
Frosting
- 1/2 cup butter at cool room temperature
- 2-4 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ground cinnamon sprinkled on top optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl beat the butter on medium speed for 30 seconds.
- Add sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until combined.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
- Mix in pumpkin.
- Stir in flour until incorporated.
- Drop 1.5 tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until tops are set.
- Transfer to wire racks to cool.
- For frosting, beat butter until smooth.
- Add 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
- Continue beating, and add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time.
- Add in additional milk to make desired consistency.
- Spread frosting on the tops of the cooled cookies.
- Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- Butter: I use salted butter in both the cookies and the frosting. If using unsalted butter, increase the salt in the cookies to 3/4 teaspoon and add a couple of pinches of salt to the frosting.
- Pumpkin pie spice: Store-bought or make your own with this recipe.
- Pumpkin puree: Be sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix.
- Flour: To properly measure the flour, either weight it or sift/stir to break it up, lightly spoon into the measuring cup, and level.
- Milk: Any milk, from skim to whole, will work. Cream will also work.
- Powdered sugar: If your powdered sugar is lumpy, sift to break it up before using. This will help it to incorporate into the frosting better.
