I’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.

Calories: 6319kcal
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.

Delicious cookies, my favorite part is eating them. Love the glaze, it looks pretty and easy to prepare.
Ok, I’m not exactly what anyone would call a baker, but these look like they need to be in my belly right now, so I think I’m going to have to break out the mixing pan.

This is just what I am looking for! I am wondering if these can be frozen? I imagine I can freeze them after baking and iced later but can I freeze uncooked? Thanks
I haven’t tried to freeze them before. I assume they would do just fine. If you do try to freeze the finished cookies, let me know how they turned out.
