Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons milk or cream
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
3. Stir in flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until a soft dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
4. While the dough chills, make the crumb topping by combining flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and butter. Use a fork or fingers to make coarse crumbs.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
6. Scoop cookie dough onto the sheet and press an indent into each. Add crumb topping generously on each.
7. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
8. Mix powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze. Drizzle over completely cooled cookies.
Notes
Pumpkin pie spice gives that warm fall flavor—don’t skip it.
Chilling the dough keeps cookies thick and chewy.
Add glaze only after cookies are fully cool to avoid melting.
