There is something about baking from scratch, putting your heart and special touch into it, that is such a simple pleasure. It is even more of a simple pleasure when it is then packaged and delivered to a loved one; friend, family or neighbour. This recipe right here inspired me to do just that, make an extra batch and hand deliver it to a neighbour. The pleasure you will get from sharing your baked goods is rewarding and heartwarming at the same time.
Ingredients
Cookies
1 cup butter, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp cinnamon
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp butter, softened at room temperature
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
3 tbsp milk, adding more if needed
Directions
In a large mixing bowl beat butter, pumpkin, sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla and eggs till smooth
In a second bowl combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and spices till combined
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet till a dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in fridge for 30-40 minutes
Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a large baking sheet. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop small dough balls and placed on to a greased cookie sheet. Flatten balls with a spoon or the bottom of a mason jar.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or till golden brown at the edges. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
While cookies are cooling make the glaze. Mix all ingredients together till smooth and combined, adding more milk if you need.
When cookies are completely cooled drizzle glaze over top, allow to harden and drizzle again repeating however many times you like.
OPTIONAL STEP - package them up and hand delivery to a loved one!
