Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired glaze consistency.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the maple glaze over the top of each cookie.
- Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For longer storage, freeze cookies in a freezer-safe bag, separating layers with parchment paper for up to three months.
- To reheat frozen cookies, let them thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.
