  • Total Time: 29 minutes
  • Yield: 18 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Slightly flatten the tops if desired.
  6. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until the cookies are set and lightly golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  7. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, espresso powder, and milk until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  8. Drizzle or spoon glaze over cooled cookies and let it set before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Let cookies cool completely before glazing to avoid melting.
  • Double the spice for an extra punch of fall flavor.
  • Store with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
