- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and coconut sugar until combined.
- Beat in the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until the mixture is a smooth emulsion.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt directly into the wet ingredients.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture until no streaks of flour remain, taking care not to overmix.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–12 minutes until the tops are set but still soft to the touch.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until velvety.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cookies while they are still slightly warm to ensure a fused bond.
