How to Make Pumpkin Orange Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 3/4 cup packed brown sugar and beat until well combined.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1 tablespoon orange zest. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **For the Glaze:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons orange juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add more orange juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the glaze over the top.
