1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until light and fluffy.
Mix in the pumpkin puree until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and any optional spices you prefer.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
To make the glaze, mix powdered sugar, maple syrup, and a tiny bit of water or milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.
