Sobre esta receta

Suaves, esponjosas y calurosamente especiadas — estas galletas clásicas de calabaza son un favorito querido del otoño. Hechas con puré de calabaza real y una mezcla de especias acogedoras, se hornean increíblemente tiernas con una textura tipo pastel que se derrite en la boca. Terminadas con un glaseado simple de mantequilla marrón, son el tipo de galleta casera que desaparece rápidamente en cualquier reunión.

Instrucciones

1. 1

   Preheat your Oven to ![350°F]. Line two large Baking Sheet with Parchment Paper and set aside.

2. 2

   In a Mixing Bowl, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Salt, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, and cloves until well combined. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a large Mixing Bowl, beat the softened Butter with the Granulated Sugar and Light Brown Sugar using a Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer on ^[medium speed] until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the Pumpkin Puree, Eggs, and Vanilla Extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat on ^[medium speed] until fully combined and smooth, about 1 minute. The batter will look slightly curdled — that's normal.

5. 5

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on ^[low speed] (or fold by hand with a Spatula) just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix — the dough will be soft and sticky, more like a thick batter than a traditional cookie dough.

6. 6

   Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared Baking Sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Smooth the tops slightly with the back of a spoon if desired — they won't spread much.

7. 7

   Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cookies should spring back lightly when touched. Do not overbake — they should look just barely done.

8. 8

   Let the cookies cool on the Baking Sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a Wire Rack to cool completely before glazing.

9. 9

   In a small Saucepan over ^[medium heat], melt the Butter and continue cooking, swirling the pan frequently, until the Butter turns golden amber and smells nutty, about 3–4 minutes. Watch it carefully — it can go from browned to burned quickly. Remove from heat immediately.

10. 10

    Whisk the sifted Powdered Sugar, Milk, Vanilla Extract, and pinch of Salt into the browned Butter until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable — like a thin icing. Add an extra teaspoon of Milk at a time if needed to reach the right consistency.

11. 11

    Once the cookies are completely cool, spoon or drizzle about 1 teaspoon of glaze over each cookie and let it set for 15–20 minutes at room temperature before serving or stacking.
