Ingredients
for the maple pumpkin cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
for the maple glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2–4 Tablespoons milk

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the melted butter, blotted pumpkin puree and brown sugar. Whisk to combine.

Use a 1 ounce cookie scoop to scoop out balls of dough, dropping them 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes or until they have puffed up and are set on the edges but still under baked in the middle. Do not over bake. Allow to cool.

- Once the cookies have cooled completely, frost with the frosting and top with chopped nuts if desired. Enjoy!
