Pumpkin Sugar Cookies with a delicious drizzle!
Makes 36 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cardamom
- ½ tsp nutmeg
For the frosting:
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 Tbsp water
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp cardamom
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix butter, oil, pumpkin, sugars, vanilla and eggs together until smooth.
- Slowly add in all dry ingredients and mix together.
- On a prepared baking sheet, spoon or scoop dough (about 1 1/2 Tbsp) about 2-inches apart. Next, take the bottom of a drinking glass and press down on the cookie dough/balls.
- Bake cookies for 8-9 minutes.
Prepare the glaze:
- Mix together the powdered sugar, water (depending on the consistency you want), the pumpkin pie spice and cardamom until smooth.
- When the cookies are baked, allow to cool for 3-5 minutes and then transfer to a baking rack. Right away, spread the glaze (1 tsp or more) over each warm cookie.
- Allow the glaze to set for 2 hours before serving.
Notes
TIP: To prevent the dough from sticking to the glass, press the bottom of the glass in white sugar before flattening cookies.
