Tips

  • To make the streusel, use your hands to mix until the mixture resembles large crumbs.
  • Dry the pumpkin puree by spreading it on a plate and pressing with a paper towel several times until it goes from about 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup and hardly any liquid transfers to the paper towel. This step is not optional.
  • If the cookie dough is too sticky, chill it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • When the cookies are straight out of the oven, scoot a large, round cookie cutter around them to give them a perfect circular shape.
  • For the vanilla glaze, start with 2 tsp of milk and add more as necessary to achieve a drizzle-able consistency.
