Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp instant espresso powder or instant coffee
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or brewed coffee
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and espresso powder.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
  6. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are soft but not wet.
  8. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. If using glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes

  • Increase espresso powder to 2 tsp for a stronger coffee flavor.
  • Add chocolate chips or nuts for texture variation.
  • Use a combination of brown and white sugar for ideal softness.
  • No need to chill dough—ready to bake immediately.
  • Cookies freeze well unfrosted; add glaze after thawing.
