Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons (4 g) ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon (1 g) ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 g) pumpkin puree

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add in the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients by gradually adding the dry mixture to the wet and mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
  6. Roll the dough into balls and coat each ball in a mixture of ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  7. Bake the cookies on the lined baking sheet for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Make the maple glaze by mixing powdered sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  10. Glaze the cooled cookies, allowing the glaze to set for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

To keep these cookies chewy, do not overbake them. They should look slightly underdone when pulled from the oven.
