Iced Eggless Pumpkin Cookies
Cakey, soft pumpkin cookies that are totally eggless, but you’d never guess! Made with real pumpkin puree & an easy powdered sugar icing to decorate.
Equipment
- #60 cookie scoop (or 1-Tbsp)
Ingredients
Soft Pumpkin Cookies
- 8 oz butter softened to room temperature (1 cup)
- ⅔ cup granulated white sugar (143g)
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar (142g)
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree or homemade (120g)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour or 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour (300g)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup powdered sugar icing (optional, see instructions)
Instructions
- Allow butter to soften to room temperature for ~1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment & spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed, until fluffy & combined.
- Then add pumpkin puree, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla and beat with the mixer until integrated.
- Separately, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add dry mixture into the wet mixture in 2-3 batches, beating with a hand mixer as you go to form a dough.
- Scoop ~1 Tbsp dough and roll into 1-inch balls with your hands. (I used a #60 cookie scoop.) Transfer to a prepared baking sheet and flatten each ball slightly into a disk.
- Bake pumpkin cookies 12-14 minutes, until starting to brown at the edges.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once transferred, drizzle pumpkin cookies with icing while they’re still warm!
- To make a quick cookie icing: Whisk together 1½ cups powdered sugar, 1-2 Tbsp milk of choice, and ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional). Use a spoon to drizzle icing over warm cookies & allow to set.
- Storage: Keep unfrosted or frosted pumpkin cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
