  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp sal t
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel)
  • 0.5 cup all -purpose flour (for streusel)

  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (for streusel)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tbsp whole milk (for glaze)
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place pumpkin puree on paper towels and press to remove excess moisture until the puree is thick and reduced to approximately 1/3 cup volume.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the streusel flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until pea-sized crumbs form; refrigerate until use.
  • Cream the softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and blotted pumpkin puree until thoroughly combined.
  • Sift together the 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir on low speed until just combined into a soft dough.
  • Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Press a generous amount of chilled streusel into the top of each cookie dough ball, pressing lightly so it adheres.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are no longer glossy.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Whisk the glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over the completely cooled cookies before serving.
