Equipment

  • 9×13 Baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • Streusel
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¾ all purpose flour
  • 2 tsps pumpkin spice seasoning

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Make the streusel: In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and flour. Use a fork to mix them together. Add the softened butter and blend it into the dry ingredients until a crumbly mixture forms. Set aside.
  • Place the pumpkin puree on a paper towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. Transfer the drained puree to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the browned butter, white sugar, and brown sugar to the bowl with the pumpkin puree. Stir until well combined.
  • Separate the egg yolks and add them to the mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  • Sift the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice) into the wet mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together until a thick dough forms.
  • Use a 2-inch scooper to portion the dough into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Gently press down each dough ball with your fingers, creating a small well in the center.
  • Fill each well with the prepared pumpkin streusel.
  • Bake for 12 minutes or until the cookies are slightly browned around the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool while you make the glaze.
  • To make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Start slowly to dissolve the sugar, then whisk more vigorously to remove any clumps, creating a smooth glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled cookies.
