Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • For the Maple Frosting:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk (if needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between cookies.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cookies cool, prepare the maple frosting. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and maple syrup until smooth.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  12. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  13. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe the maple frosting on top.

Notes

  • Make sure your butter is truly softened, not melted, for the best cookie texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough after adding the flour; this can lead to tough cookies.
  • Bake time may vary depending on your oven. Keep an eye on the cookies to prevent overbaking.
  • Let the frosting set slightly before stacking or storing the cookies.
