Ingredients
 

Cookies

  • ½ cup (113.5 g) salted butter
  • ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (66.67 g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80 g) pumpkin puree blotted to become 3 tablespoon (50g)
  • 1 egg yolk room temp
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1½ cups (210 g) all-purpose flour gluten free can also be used

Crumb Topping

  • ½ cup (62.5 g) flour
  • ⅓ cup (73.33 g) brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoon (1.5 teaspoon) pumpkin pie spice
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoon butter soft

Glaze

  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • good sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Measure out ⅓ cup of pumpkin and place on a paper plate. Using some paper towels, blot the pumpkin, removing liquid until the paper towel wipes clean. When done the pumpkin should measure more like 3 tablespoons (50g).
  • In a large bowl beat together butter and both sugars until light and creamed together, about 3-4 minutes. Add egg yolk, blotted pumpkin and vanilla dn mix again.
  • Slowly mix in baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and flour, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
  • Mix together flour, brown sugar, salt and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl. Add soft butter and mix together with a fork or your fingers until it all comes together.
  • Scoop the dough into 3 tablespoon size balls and place 6 cookies on cookie sheet. Take the backside of the cookie scoop or a spoon and push to make an indention in each cookie dough ball, or you can use your fingers.
  • Take a handful of crumb topping and place it in the indention of the cookie dough.
  • Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Run a spoon or spatula around the freshly baked cookies to help shape a perfect circle. Allow to cool completely before adding the glaze.
  • Mix together the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cookies. Enjoy!

Notes

You can sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar instead of making the glaze if you prefer.
It will seem like a lot of crumb topping when you're placing it on the cookie dough, but pile it as high as you can because once the cookie bakes and spreads it will even out.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to ensure it's not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
