Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup (150g) coconut sugar
  • 1 large (50g) egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) baking powder
  • 1 tbsp (6g) pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) milk
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) vanilla extract

Instructions:

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