Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp ginger
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts, raisins, or white chocolate chips
For the Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp milk or cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and pumpkin puree; mix until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in any optional mix-ins.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until cookies are set and lightly golden. Cool completely before glazing.
- To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies and let set.
Notes
- Cool completely before glazing to let the glaze set properly.
- Optional mix-ins (nuts, raisins, or white chocolate chips) can be added for extra texture; adjust sweetness as needed.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; freeze for longer storage.
- If you’d like softer cookies, slightly reduce baking time to 9–10 minutes; for crisper cookies, bake 12–13 minutes.
