- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup butter, (softened at room temperature)
Frosting:
- 6 oz cream cheese, (softened at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup butter, (softened at room temperature)
- 1 - 1.5 cups powdered sugar, (sweetened to taste *SEE NOTES BELOW)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Garnishment
- ground cinnamon
- granulated sugar
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
To a large mixing bowl or mixer, beat the butter with a handheld or counter mixer until it reaches a light, fluffy consistency.
-
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Mix until thoroughly combined.
-
To a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
-
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients 1/4-1/2 cup at a time. Mix until it reaches a cake batter consistency.
-
Using a 2-tablespoon scoop (ice cream scoop, melon scooper, or cookie dough scoop), release the batter onto the baking sheets, making sure to keep each cookie 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are firm. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool before icing.
-
While the first batch is baking, combine the ingredients for the frosting into a medium mixing bowl or stand mixer and beat until smooth.
-
Spread frosting over each cookie and sprinkle with a cinnamon sugar mixture (optional). Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
