This soft pumpkin cookies recipe is super easy to make and drizzled with maple cinnamon glaze. They’re so good, they will melt in your mouth!

Ingredients

For the cookies:
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
For the glaze:
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon water
  • 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

For the cookies:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat coconut oil with sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder and soda at medium speed.
  • Beat in egg, vanilla and pumpkin, until combined.
  • Add flour in 1 cup increments, continuing to beat at medium speed until all flour has been combined.
  • Place tablespoon-sized balls of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cookies have fully set (an inserted toothpick should come out clean).
  • Allow cookies to cool for a minute before transferring to a cooling rack.

For the glaze:

  • In a medium bow, whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth.
  • When cookies are fully cooled, drizzle glaze over cookies using a whisk, spoon or pastry bag with small tip.
