Aunties Pumpkin Cookies W Glaze Recipes

PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH CINNAMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
• Add the pumpkin puree, egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Dough will be sticky.
• Drop 2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Because the dough is sticky, I dropped a tablespoon at a time, then lightly pressed them together and flattened them just a bit.
• Bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes.
• Let cool for 1 minute, then move to cooling rack to finish cooling.
• When cookies are cool, whisk together ingredients for the glaze.
• Drizzle glaze over cookies. Allow to dry.

• In large mixer bowl, beat sugar and butter until well-blended. Beat in pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Add nuts, if desired. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto prepared cooking sheets. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
• To prepare glaze: In small bowl, combine all ingredients until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies.

CHOCOLATE-GLAZED PUMPKIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin-pie spice, and salt; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until smooth. With mixer on low speed, alternately add flour mixture in two parts and pumpkin puree in one, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix just until combined (do not overmix).
• Drop dough by heaping tablespoons onto two baking sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until puffed and edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets once during baking. Immediately transfer cookies to wire racks, and cool completely.
• When cookies have cooled, set them (still on rack) over a baking sheet or waxed paper. Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water; stir until almost melted. Remove from heat; stir until completely melted. Pour chocolate into a resealable plastic bag. Snip off a corner with scissors or a knife to make an 1/8-inch hole; pipe chocolate over cookies. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes.
