Description

Bakery-style pumpkin cookies with a chewy center, spiced crumble topping, and a silky vanilla glaze. These cookies combine all the best elements of coffee cake and fall baking into a perfectly textured handheld treat.


Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 cup molasses

1/2 cup Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin

1 large egg

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 to 1.5 tablespoons milk


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add in vanilla, molasses, and pumpkin. Mix until smooth.

4. Add egg and beat until combined.

5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

7. In another bowl, combine streusel ingredients with a fork until crumbly.

8. Use a medium cookie scoop to drop dough onto parchment-lined sheet, spacing apart.

9. Top each cookie with a generous spoonful of streusel.

10. Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.

11. Let cookies cool on the tray for 5–6 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

12. Once fully cooled, whisk powdered sugar and milk to make glaze.

13. Drizzle glaze over cookies with a fork.

14. Allow glaze to set before storing or serving.

Notes

Use only pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

Wait until cookies are fully cooled before drizzling the glaze.

Store with parchment between layers to keep the streusel intact.
