Glazed Pumpkin Cookies Recipes

GLAZED PUMPKIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium sized bowl, take the first five ingredients (flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg) and mix together thoroughly. Set aside.
• In another bowl or stand mixer bowl, mix together the margarine, sugar, pumpkin, egg, vanilla and optional chocolate chips or nuts. The margarine may look lumpy and not blended well into the mixture. This is ok because when we add the flour mixture it will blend together just fine.
• Add the flour mixture in 2 - 3 batches, mixing thoroughly each time.
• Using a spoon or cookie drop, drop cookie batter on to a lightly greased cookie sheet. Place cookies at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Place baked cookies onto a cooling rack and place the cooling rack on top of the cookie sheet. This will help catch the glaze that falls off the cookies.

ICED PUMPKIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup of butter and white sugar. Add pumpkin, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients. Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls; flatten slightly.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool cookies, then drizzle glaze with fork.
• To Make Glaze: Combine confectioners' sugar, milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add milk as needed, to achieve drizzling consistency.

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.
