Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Butter Icing

Recipe Summary

Recipe Summary

Yield: Makes about 6 dozen

Makes about 6 dozen

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups canned solid-pack pumpkin (14 ounces)
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon evaporated milk, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Fit a pastry bag with a large coupler and a 1/2-inch plain round (such as Ateco #806); set aside.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a medium bowl; set aside. Cream 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter and the brown sugar on medium speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs. Reduce speed to low. Add pumpkin, 3/4 evaporated milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; mix until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add flour mixture; mix until combined.

Transfer 1 1/2 cups batter to a pastry bag. Pipe 1 1/2-inch rounds onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until tops spring back, about 12 minutes. Cool on sheets on wire racks 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely.

Put confectioners’ sugar in a large bowl; set aside. Melt remaining 10 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.

Immediately add butter to confectioners’ sugar, scraping any browned bits from sides and bottom of pan. Add remaining 5 tablespoons evaporated milk and remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla; stir until smooth. Spread about 1 teaspoon icing onto each cookie. If icing stiffens, stir in more evaporated milk, a little at a time.

      Cook's Notes

Cookies can be stored in single layers in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.

                I was surprised by, but liked the fluffy, spongy texture and the enjoyed the pumpkin pie flavor. My daughter and I used fresh pumpkin puree and added cloves and allspice, and put one candy corn in the top of each cookie and skipped the frosting. Delicious. They taste deceptively healthy. However, after sitting in an airtight container overnight, they are slightly mushy. I would have preferred a way for them to be crispy on the bottom and/or top. I'll be looking for a crispier pumpkin cookie recipe, or perhaps make macarons instead.

                I'm making these now and the ingredients say 1 1/2 sticks of butter (12 T) which is what is used for the cookies.  Then the frosting says to melt  the remaining 10 tablespoons of butter. Are there 22 tablespoons of butter for the entire recipe or is there a lesser amount used for the cookies and frosting?

                Fantastic recipe.  (especially for those that like sweet)  The first time I made it, I found it too sweet.  But that's my opinion as I do not like things that sweet.  So this time...I added only 1.5 cups of raw sugar and a tablespoon of molasses instead of the brown sugar.  I also only added 1 tsp of salt.  And something extra to add more ymminess...Dark Chocolate chips.  And  because I LOVE fresh ginger and pumpkin, I added a little extra pumpkin and candied ginger instead of ground ginger.  :)

                Made this yesterday and it was a big hit.  The cookies are delicious and fluffy - almost like a moon pie.  My frosting came out nice and thick (although I could have used more!) and I sprinkled some Halloween sprinkles to really maximize the Halloween spirit!  I thought at first the cookies needed more time, but they were springy to the touch, so don't worry if they don't brown too much!

                Made the recipe as is and they came out great. The cookies were not quite pancake flat but they are flatter than what I was expecting. I halved the icing which worked perfectly for the number of cookies I had (59 - many were eaten before they were iced they are that good!). They look better with the icing but I don't think the icing does anything spectacular for them - I may try adding cinnamon or something next time. These cookies are mini pumpkin cakes! Yum!

                These came out wonderful!  My 3-yr-old loved them.  I did not pipe the cookie batter as instructed, but used a cookie scoop to scoop round cookie batter onto the cookie sheets and they turned out fine.  My icing was the same consistency as the photos and I had barely enough for the cookies I made.  
                
                I will definitely make these again!  A yummy pumpkin cookie!

                The batter/dough was very runny, more like cake batter. I made mini muffins with the same brown butter icing and they were WONDERFUL!!!!! Would like to make the cookies though. What would you add to make a cookie dough and how much?

                that's where my print button used to be, but now it's to the left side in a "tab" next to where the recipe is. That's also where the save button is.
                
                As far as table salt vs. coarse salt I would go no more than half amount or maybe 1/2 tsp in this recipe. Hope this helps

                Has anyone tried substituting regular table salt for the coarse salt?  If so, how much and were the cookies still good?  I used coarse salt in one of Martha's recipes and most people who commented on the lemon bars said there was an almost bitter taste they did not care for.   These cookies sound delicious - my husband loves spice cookies and cake, but I am hesitant to try them with the coarse salt given my bad luck with the lemon bars.

                These cookies are insanely good, especially the icing.  I used a ziploc bag with the tip cut off as a pastry bag, but the heat from my hands really softened the dough.  One reader mentioned using an ice cream scoop which I think is the best option for forming the cookies.  Either way, though, they're worth it!

                These are, hands down, one of the best cookies I have ever baked!  This will be the sixth year I am making them.  Each year I get more and more compliments on them!  I just use a big Zip-lock freezer bag and cut a [filtered] in the corner of it instead of piping the dough through a pastry bag - it works wonderfully!  If you want to bake a new cookie this year, I would highly recommend baking the Pumpkin cookies with brown-butter icing!

                I found that I didn't need to use a pastry bag at all. I used a mini ice cream scoop 
                and it worked perfectly. They took exactly  12 minutes to bake and were soft and moist. That icing is delicious! It is crucial to keep them in an airtight container!

                It sounds like your baking powder may have been a little old.  Also spices like cinnamon and nutmeg can go stale within months.  Better to buy fresh see www.penzyspice.com and keep in tight fitted glass or metal jars.  You will notice quite a difference from the cans of spice in the grocery store.

                These cookies spread out quite a bit on the cookie sheet I would give them more than 1 inch apart for sure. Mine ended up spreading into one another. The cookie is cake like in texture and I thought could use some more pumpkin spice.

                I love this recipe!  It is one of my "standard" recipes that I go to whenever I need a reliable treat that is always a hit.  I typically make these cookies in cupcake form, since it is quicker to make and just as tasty.  Same recipe exactly, just pour into cupcake pans and bake!  Make 24 cupcakes.  (You will have extra icing left over, but I always find a use for it!)  I also make this in my mini-loaf pans when I need a nice treat to give a neighbor, teacher, etc.  It is perfect!

                These cookies have a great "pumpkin pie" flavor, but they spread more than i thought they would as well as being "too light"  I was looking for a heavier cookie like my gramma used to make.  They also were hard to get out of the pan because I don't use parchment paper.  They have a very light cake like texture, not like the cookie i'm used to.  If you like cake like cookies this recipe is for you.

                These cookies are delicious. I let the dough "rest" in the fridge for at least 12 hours before I bake them. I also use an ice cream scoop instead of piping the batter and it works just as well. They come out beautifully and the icing is a nice touch.

                dabcave-- I've made these cookies for about four years now, and although I've never frozen the cookies after baking, I've frozen them before baking.  Just freeze the batter as-is or pipe them onto the paper and freeze before you bake them.  Then you can just take them out of the freezer and pop them into the oven.  Hope that helps!

                These are the best pumpkin cookies I've ever tasted.  I would like to know if they can be frozen prior to icing them, so as not to be so rushed before the holidays with all my other baking?  If so, how long?  Thank you so much.

                The print button is right underneath the title of the recipe, on the same line as the 'tweet' button, just over to the right, but before you get to the ads.  Hope this helps.  


                    
                Has anyone tried substituting regular table salt for the coarse salt?  If so, how much and were the cookies still good?  I used coarse salt in one of Martha's recipes and most people who commented on the lemon bars said there was an almost bitter taste they did not care for.   These cookies sound delicious - my husband loves spice cookies and cake, but I am hesitant to try them with the coarse salt given my bad luck with the lemon bars.  


                    
                Having trouble saving this recipe to my collection and, also, where is the print button?

                These cookies are insanely good, especially the icing.  I used a ziploc bag with the tip cut off as a pastry bag, but the heat from my hands really softened the dough.  One reader mentioned using an ice cream scoop which I think is the best option for forming the cookies.  Either way, though, they're worth it!

                These are, hands down, one of the best cookies I have ever baked!  This will be the sixth year I am making them.  Each year I get more and more compliments on them!  I just use a big Zip-lock freezer bag and cut a [filtered] in the corner of it instead of piping the dough through a pastry bag - it works wonderfully!  If you want to bake a new cookie this year, I would highly recommend baking the Pumpkin cookies with brown-butter icing!

                I baked these cookies for our garden club meeting last night and both the men and ladies loved them. Several ladies asked me for the recipe. The icing was especially delicious. Thank you Martha Stewart for another delicious recipe.

                I found that I didn't need to use a pastry bag at all. I used a mini ice cream scoop 
                and it worked perfectly. They took exactly  12 minutes to bake and were soft and moist. That icing is delicious! It is crucial to keep them in an airtight container!

                It sounds like your baking powder may have been a little old.  Also spices like cinnamon and nutmeg can go stale within months.  Better to buy fresh see www.penzyspice.com and keep in tight fitted glass or metal jars.  You will notice quite a difference from the cans of spice in the grocery store.

                These cookies spread out quite a bit on the cookie sheet I would give them more than 1 inch apart for sure. Mine ended up spreading into one another. The cookie is cake like in texture and I thought could use some more pumpkin spice.

                by all means do chill dough and try mini muffin tins for dainty treats
                for a fall afternoon tea............

                I love this recipe!  It is one of my "standard" recipes that I go to whenever I need a reliable treat that is always a hit.  I typically make these cookies in cupcake form, since it is quicker to make and just as tasty.  Same recipe exactly, just pour into cupcake pans and bake!  Make 24 cupcakes.  (You will have extra icing left over, but I always find a use for it!)  I also make this in my mini-loaf pans when I need a nice treat to give a neighbor, teacher, etc.  It is perfect!

                These cookies have a great "pumpkin pie" flavor, but they spread more than i thought they would as well as being "too light"  I was looking for a heavier cookie like my gramma used to make.  They also were hard to get out of the pan because I don't use parchment paper.  They have a very light cake like texture, not like the cookie i'm used to.  If you like cake like cookies this recipe is for you.

                These cookies are delicious. I let the dough "rest" in the fridge for at least 12 hours before I bake them. I also use an ice cream scoop instead of piping the batter and it works just as well. They come out beautifully and the icing is a nice touch.

                dabcave-- I've made these cookies for about four years now, and although I've never frozen the cookies after baking, I've frozen them before baking.  Just freeze the batter as-is or pipe them onto the paper and freeze before you bake them.  Then you can just take them out of the freezer and pop them into the oven.  Hope that helps!

                These are the best pumpkin cookies I've ever tasted.  I would like to know if they can be frozen prior to icing them, so as not to be so rushed before the holidays with all my other baking?  If so, how long?  Thank you so much.
