Ingredients
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled down
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cup flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 6 Tbsp butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Then gently fold in the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, cinnamon, and salt until the dry mixture disappears.
- Using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 12 equally-sized cookie dough balls. Place 6 of them on each of the prepared baking sheets. Gently spray the back of a spoon or your hands with non-stick cooking spray and flatten the cookies a little to about ⅔ inch in thickness.
- Bake at 350 for 15-16 minutes, then let the cookies cool down on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
- For the frosting - In a bowl, cream the softened cream cheese and butter with a hand mixer until smooth. Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar and continue whipping for 4-6 minutes, or until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Place the frosting in a piping bag with a round piping tip. Pipe the frosting on top of the cooled-down cookies in a circle starting from the center out. Decorate each cookie with a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips. Makes 12 servings.
