Ingredients

Cookies

  • 2.5 Cups All Purpose Flour Work with Gluten Free Cup for Cup as well!
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 + 1/2 Cups Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Butter (1 Stick) Softened
  • 1 CUP Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Glaze

  • 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 3 TBLS Milk
  • 1 TBLS Melted Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  1. Set oven to 350.

  2. Mix all dry ingredients together and set aside.

  3. In medium mixing bowl, combine sugar and butter until well blended. I used a hand mixer.

  4. Add Egg, Pumpkin, and Vanilla and mix thoroughly.

  5. Pour in flour and mix to incorporate. Don't over mix.

  6. Drop by teaspoon or tablespoon onto greased cookie sheet. I prefer smaller cookies, so I used teaspoons, and slightly reduced the cooking time. If using a tablespoon, you will need to bake for the full 18 minutes.

  7. Once baked, place on parchment paper or a wire rack to cool.

  8. While cookies are cooling, mix glaze by putting all ingredients in a small bowl and mixing until fully smooth.

  9. Once cookies are cooled, glaze with about a tsp of glaze onto each cookie. Let the glaze harden, and then place on a plate for serving.

  10. I store any leftover cookies in the fridge to preserve freshness.
