Ingredients

  • COOKIES
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 stick butter at room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • GLAZE
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 tablespoon milk ( add extra by teaspoon if needed to achieve flowing consistency)
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Sift the flour,baking powder,pumpkin spice and salt together into a bowl and set aside.
  3. Beat the softened butter on high. Add the sugar and beat until it is light and fluffy.

  6. Add the flour mixture and combine on low speed until everything is combined.
  7. Drop the dough by the tablespoon onto ungreased  cookie sheets.
  8. Bake cookies for 15 minutes until they are lightly browned. I rotate the sheets about halfway through the process to ensure that they brown evenly.
  9. Cool the cookies completely on a wire rack.
  10. To make the glaze, stir together the powdered sugar, maple syrup and milk.
  11. Add milk by the teaspoon if the mixture is too thick to drizzle over the cookies
  12. Place wax paper under the wire racks.
  13. Spoon one teaspoon of the glaze over each cookie.

Notes

Pumpkin Spice is a mixture of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, Allspice and Ground Cloves in equal parts if you would like to make your own.
