With fall in full swing, it’s time to make pumpkin flavored everything! These orange and pecan pumpkin cookies from the OHOW kitchen make the earthy flavors of Fall come alive with cinnamon, cardamon, toasted pecans, and, of course, pumpkin. Add a bright and zingy orange glaze to deliciously top off these Fall pumpkin cookies.
This pumpkin cookie recipe yields 3 dozen cookies, but they’re so good you won’t want to share!
“During trick or treat, give the kids candy or a toothbrush,” OHOW Chef Mike said. “But keep the orange-pecan pumpkin cookies for yourself.”
How to Make OHOW’s Orange and Pecan Pumpkin Cookies
Before preparing your pecan pumpkin cookies, preheat your oven to 350°F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
To start the dough, combine the dry ingredients and spices. Next, in a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until well combined and creamy. Next, add the dry ingredients to create your pumpkin cookie dough!
Use about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough to form one cookie. Space the cookies out evenly and flatten the cookies before baking for about 12-15 minutes.
While the pecan pumpkin cookies are in the oven, make the zesty orange glaze. Combine confectioners sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Add more milk and orange zest as needed to achieve your desired glaze consistency.
When the pumpkin cookies are out of the oven and slightly cooled, dip the top of each cookie into the glaze and dust them with toasted pecans. Allow glaze to firm up before serving, and enjoy!
