Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the cookies:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ⅔ cup white sugar
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg large
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ¾ cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the frosting:

  • ½ cup salted butter softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ⅓ cup caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Pumpkin pie spice for decorating

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a stand mixer until smooth.
  • Beat in the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla until fluffy.
  • Add flour, salt, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Mix just until combined. Don’t overmix.
  • Scoop large, bakery-style mounds with an ice cream scoop and place on baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Cookies should stay soft.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth, then add caramel, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Start on low, then increase speed until fluffy.
  • Pipe frosting spirals on each cookie with a piping bag and round tip.
  • Dust lightly with pumpkin pie spice to finish.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use a cookie scoop for bakery-size cookies.
  • If the dough feels sticky, chill for 20 minutes to keep them from spreading.
  • Warm caramel sauce slightly before adding to frosting; it blends easier.
  • A zip-top bag with the corner cut makes a fine piping bag substitute.
  • Leave plenty of space on the sheet pan since these cookies are big.
