Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

2. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.

3. 3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. 4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup until fully combined.

5. 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

6. 6. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

7. 7. Bake the Maple Pumpkin Cookies for 12–15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

8. 8. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk or cream (starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more as needed), and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and creamy.

9. 9. Drizzle or spread the maple glaze over the cooled Maple Pumpkin Cookies. Allow the glaze to set before serving and enjoying these seasonal treats.
