Soft Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Frosting
Servings 12 cookies
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Maple Frosting
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a medium bowl or stand mixer, blend together the butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon together. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until well blended.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out balls of dough that are about 2 tbsp of dough onto the cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes or until they have puffed up and are set on the edges but still under baked in the middle. Do not over bake or they will be dry and not chewy.
- While the cookies cool, make the frosting. In a small bowl combine all ingredients for the frosting. Use a hand mixer to whip the ingredients together until smooth.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, frost and top with sprinkles to make them a bit more fun. Enjoy!
