Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar Packed brown sugar adds extra flavor.
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice This gives the cookies that cozy fall flavor.
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. Mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- While the cookies bake, prepare the caramel frosting. In a small saucepan, melt together butter, brown sugar, and cream, stirring until it bubbles. Let it simmer for a minute, then remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Once the cookies have cooled slightly, spread a generous layer of the caramel frosting on top of each cookie. Enjoy your delicious pumpkin cookies!
Notes
These cookies are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Enjoy them with a cup of hot cider!
