Iced Pumpkin Cookies – Recipe

Iced Pumpkin CookiesI’ve been making these cookies the last few years and I can’t believe I haven’t shared this recipe yet. I always make a huge batch that I can share with as many people as possible because they are so yummy.

They are always eaten up as fast as I get them out of the oven. Super simple. If you don’t have cinnamon, nutmeg or ground cloves around your pantry just substitute it with Pumpkin Spice.

Ingredients

  • Cookies
  • 2 1/2 Cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg I use Pumpkin Spice to hit these key flavors
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/2 Cup white sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Icing
  • 2 Cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup of butter and white sugar. Add pumpkin, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients. Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls; flatten slightly.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool cookies, then drizzle glaze with fork.
  • To Make Glaze: Combine confectioners’ sugar, milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add milk as needed, to achieve drizzling consistency.

Notes

Do not store these in an air tight container, the pumpkin has too much moisture and will cause the cookies to become mushy.

  1. Just popped these bad boys in the oven, and now my whole house smells awesome! Super easy to put together. I went ahead and doubled the batch, just knowing they would taste great. My friends and family are going to be in pumpkin heaven today!

  2. I love anything Pumpkin–even just baked in the oven (the pumpkin cut in half)–I know I would love these cookies-now to figure out how to make them sugar free.

  3. Tis the season for pumpkin and I love pumpkin cookies. I just need to find a way to make them with no cane sugar and no white flour because of health issues. Your recipe looks like one I used many years ago.
