- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ⅔ cup (133 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons whole milk, room temperature
Glaze
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1-2 tablespoons whole milk
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl using a hand mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolks and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix on low until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Working 1 tablespoon at a time, add milk until the mixture is sticky, thick, and well combined.
Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, add dough to the lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie. Using your hand, flatten each cookie to about ½-inch thickness.
Bake 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them into the glaze.
Glaze
In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add more milk as needed until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
Dip each cookie into the glaze, coating half of each cookie.
Let the glaze set before serving.
