These are soft, chewy pumpkin sugar cookies that are melt-in-your mouth delicious. You'll love this recipe that features a cream cheese glaze for a little fall flavor you'll want to savor all year!
Combine butter, vegetable oil, pumpkin, sugars, vanilla and eggs until smooth.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients until incorporated.
Drop dough balls onto a cookie sheet and flatten using the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake 13 minutes (watch baking time as your oven may vary).
Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, butter, vanilla, powdered sugar and optional corn syrup until smooth.
Melt and top cooled cookies by spooning on or smoothing on with a spatula. Allow to cool until set.
Notes
These pumpkin cookies are so easy to frost, too! Just warm the cream cheese glaze, add a dollop and smooth on with a spatula or icing spatula. No decorating required!
The glaze will harden just enough to stack, but not enough to take away that soft, chewy flavor you’ll love.
Bake the cookies on a parchment or silpat lined cookie sheet.
