Ingredients:

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• For the glaze:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a mixing bowl, cream together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter until smooth

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until well combined

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

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly golden around the edges

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

For the glaze, mix together powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined

Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the top of each cookie

Allow the glaze to set before serving or storing the cookies
