Ingredients
For cookies:
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
For cream cheese icing:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
For cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until well-mixed. If using a stand mixer, make sure to use the paddle attachment.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda. Mix just until combined, you don’t want to overmix!
- Scoop out 1-inch balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to place them at least 2 inches apart. Press each of the cookies down gently to flatten them slightly.
- Bake until the edges are golden brown and the center is set, about 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool while you make the icing.
For the Icing
- Beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar, about ¼ cup at a time.
- When the sugar has been fully incorporated, add the vanilla and mix to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Frost each of the cookies with 1 tablespoon of icing and top with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice if desired.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
