2-3cupspowdered sugar(start with 2 cups and add more if needed to attain piping consistency)
Instructions
Pumpkin Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 1-2 baking sheets by lining with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, cream the butter, salt, and sugars together.
Add the egg yolk, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and baking powder together then add to the liquid ingredients and beat until a cookie dough consistency is reached.
Use a spoon or large cookie scoop and drop large balls of dough onto prepared cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with your hands or the bottom of a glass. You should have 10 cookies. I like to bake 6 per cookie sheet.
Bake in the oven for 13 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, fill a piping bag with cream cheese frosting and cut a hole in the bag or use a 1A circular piping tip.
Pipe a large swirl of icing starting from the center of the cookie outwards to make the signature Crumbl cookie look.
Garnish the top of the frosting by lightly dusting with extra pumpkin pie spice.
Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream together butter and cream cheese until creamy and lump-free.
Continue beating while adding vanilla extract.
Turn mixer to low and gradually add in powdered sugar. Add up to 2 cups and check consistency. Add more as needed.
Note: If the frosting gets too thick, add a little milk to thin.
Notes
STORING/FREEZINGSTORE: Crumbl cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Put parchment paper between the layers of cookies.FREEZE: the cookies and frosting separately. You can freeze the cookies in a plastic freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Freeze the frosting in a freezer-safe container.Thaw the cookies and frosting in the refrigerator overnight. Set out the frosting at room temperature for about an hour then whip it again before piping it on the cookies.
