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.
