Description

A healthy pumpkin cookie recipe with the flavor of everyone’s favorite fall latte!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE COOKIES:
  • ¾ cups All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 4 teaspoons Instant Espresso Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¾ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ½ cups Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature
  • ½ cups Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ cups Canned Pumpkin Puree (not Pumpkin Pie Filling)
  • 1 whole Large Egg
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 ounces, weight Light Cream Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Preparation

For the cookies:
Place rack in center of the oven and preheat oven to 375 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Add the dry ingredients, then mix on low speed until incorporated.

Drop dough by large, rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet (leave a couple inches between each) and flatten slightly with your fingers. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned at the edges and dry to the touch. Remove pan from oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

For the frosting:
Beat together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and butter on medium low. Beat in the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Spread over cooled cookies and serve.

I was in the mood for something pumpkin. Your recipe was the first pumpkin recipe so I made it even though I didn’t have whole wheat flour or espresso powder. These were delicious!
