Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add in the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth mixture.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well mixed.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets. Space them evenly.
  7. Bake in your preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until edges are set. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. While cookies cool down, prepare your frosting by beating together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  9. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until fluffy.
  10. Once cookies have completely cooled down, frost them generously with your cream cheese frosting before serving.
