Soft, chewy maple pumpkin cookies packed with warm fall spices and sweet maple glaze. Perfect for autumn gatherings or cozy treats.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • For the glaze:
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and maple syrup. Add milk a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies and allow to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Adjust spice levels to taste—add more cinnamon for a spicier cookie.
  • Cookies will continue to set as they cool; avoid overbaking for a chewy texture.
