Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies – These delightful pumpkin cookies are sure to become a family favorite – perfectly soft, absolutely delicious and so easy to make. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed. These are the BEST cookies for fall!
This cookie recipe is from Very Best Baking by Nestle (this is NOT a sponsored post). I had a can of Libby’s Pure Pumpkin and wanted to make cookies – a quick google search and I found a winning recipe!
What You Need
What you need for the cookies – flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, sugar, butter, pure pumpkin, egg and pure vanilla extract.
What you need for the glaze – powdered sugar, milk, butter and pure vanilla extract.
To Make
Preheat oven to 350 degrees f. then grease baking sheet(s). In a medium size bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt – mix well.
In a separate large bowl, mix/beat butter and sugar until blended well, then add pumpkin, egg and vanilla, mix until batter is smooth.
Slowly add flour mixture to the pumpkin batter, mixing until just blended. Do not over mix.
Drop rounded tablespoon size cookie dough on baking sheet (I used a Pampered Chef medium size scooper). Bake on middle rack of oven for approximately 15 – 18 minutes, until the edges of the cookies turn a slight golden brown and are firm.
Remove from oven, cool for a few minutes on baking sheet, then move cookies to cooling rack to finish cooling.
For Glaze – Sift powdered sugar then add melted butter, milk and vanilla in a small bowl – mix until smooth.
Once cookies are cooled completely, drizzle glaze on top. Do not drizzle glaze over cookies until cookies are cool.
Recipe made 32 cookies using my medium Pampered Chef scooper.
Not only are these cookies fantastic, a huge hit with family and my daughter’s friends – they made my house smell amazing!!
