I made these pumpkin spice cookies with some leftover pumpkin on Wednesday. Do yourself a favor and make them now or tonight!
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
dash of allspice
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup pure pumpkin (same as canned pumpkin or pumpkin puree)
pinch of vanilla powder (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
For the icing
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of vanilla powder (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1 tablespoon melted butter
milk, as needed
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined, about 1 minute. (Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed during mixing).
Add the oil, pumpkin, and vanilla and mix on low speed until blended. Stir in the flour mixture with a spoon.
Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop out mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 1/2 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the mounds.
Bake the cookies until the tops feel firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry, about 16 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, whisk together powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and melted butter in a small bowl. Gradually add milk by tablespoons, until you reach a spreading consistency. Spoon the icing evenly over tops of cookies.

I am a sucker for playdates! I literally would have 5 3 in a day if we had more SAHM's in my area. I love this post on playdate snacks!

I had to stop reading after the cookies because my screen was covered with drool...
ReplyDeleteHaha...seriously they are the best thing! I have a bad habit of throwing cookies out if they are too good & I can't keep my hands off of them...they are in the garbage can!
