How to Make Pumpkin Glazed Pumpkin Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 cup pumpkin puree until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be soft.
  6. Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto greased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove cookies from baking sheets and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
  10. While the cookies are still warm, spoon the glaze over the top.
  11. **Spicy Pumpkin Glaze:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons softened butter, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice.
  12. Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, whisking until a smooth, pourable glaze is formed. Add more pumpkin puree if needed to reach desired consistency.
