The Perfect Pumpkin Cookie!


This is the perfect "old fashioned" style Pumpkin Cookie that is sure to please everyone. Not to sweet, but just sweet enough!


  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Glaze:

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt into a  bowl.

In another medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup of butter and white sugar. Add the honey, pumpkin, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy. Mix in the dry ingredients. 

Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls; flatten slightly if batter doesn't spread on its own. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool cookies, then drizzle glaze onto the each cookie.
