Time 25m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup solid pack pumpkin
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar.
  • Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla; beat until light and creamy.
  • Mix in dry ingredients until well blended.
  • Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto greased cookie sheet.
  • Smooth tops of cookies.
  • Bake in preheated 350°F degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine glaze ingredients, stirring until smooth and set aside.
  • Cool baked cookies on wire rack.
  • Drizzle glaze over top.
  • For variations, stir any one of the following ingredients into batter: 1 cup raisins, chopped nuts, or rolled oats and/or 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs. This will help the cookies bake more evenly and give them a chewier texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake just until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

These soft and chewy pumpkin cookies are the perfect fall treat. They're easy to make and packed with warm, autumnal flavors. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these delicious cookies in no time. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these pumpkin cookies a try.
