Amazing Glazed Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Sharing is caring!

When it comes to fall cookies these absolutely amazing iced pumpkin spice cookies are all the things wonderful and good about fall.

Perfectly flavored with the best chewy texture…then add a drizzle of icing glaze and it takes these cookies over the top.

This cookie recipe makes A LOT of cookies. I often forget to remind people that since I cook for a large family, my recipes tend to be on the larger side. This recipe easily makes 4 dozen cookies, maybe 5 dozen if you tend to drop smaller cookies.

If you are taking cookies for an event, this recipe will definitely make enough to share! If you’d rather make fewer cookies, the dough keeps well for at least a week in the refrigerator. I often make a batch of this large recipe and then only bake the amount of cookies we can eat in one sitting. The rest of the dough can be stored until the next time we are craving cookies.

You can also freeze the cookie dough to use later. Simply line a pan with parchment paper and drop cookies on the pan. You can place the drops of dough much closer together than when you are baking, since they won’t be rising and spreading right now.

Place the pan in the freezer for a few hours, then place the frozen dough drops in a freezer safe container to bake at a later date. You can bake the cookie dough straight from the freezer, it will definitely take the full 20 minutes to bake when frozen.

Also, if you don’t feel like taking the extra step of making the glaze, these cookies are extremely delicious even without it!

Yield: 4 to 5 dozen cookies

Notes

*this cookie dough is very sticky. I recommend lightly spraying your scoop with oil to help the dough drop more easily. You can also cool the dough in the refridgerator for about half an hour to make it more easy to drop on the cookie sheet.
