Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
  • ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar (for topping)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp brewed coffee (or more, as needed, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and espresso powder until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. In a small bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly for the topping.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 tablespoons per cookie, leaving space between each. Flatten slightly with your fingers.
  8. Sprinkle the coffee cake topping generously over each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and brewed coffee until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes

Chill dough for 20-30 minutes if sticky. Use fresh spices for maximum flavor. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft and chewy.
