Ingredients
For the Cookies:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup canned pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
¼ cup canned pumpkin puree
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated.
- Scoop dough onto the baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden. Let cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Frost cooled cookies and enjoy!
Notes
For thicker frosting, add extra powdered sugar or refrigerate before spreading.
Unfrosted cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw and frost before serving.
Fresh pumpkin puree can replace canned puree but should be well-drained.
