2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
18 -
1 to 2 tablespoons milk or cream
19 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until evenly combined.
03 -
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
04 -
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until incorporated. Mix in the pumpkin puree and maple syrup until smooth and homogeneous.
05 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined; the dough should remain soft. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
06 -
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are set and tops are slightly puffed. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
07 -
While cookies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk or cream, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until you achieve a thick, pourable glaze.
08 -
Once cookies are completely cooled, drizzle or spread the maple glaze over the tops. Allow glaze to set for about 10 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure cookies are fully cooled before glazing to prevent the icing from melting.
