Enjoy a batch of these soft and cakey pumpkin spice cookies with vanilla glaze. They are the perfect treat for your pumpkin spice craving!

Since September 1st was the unofficial start of pumpkin spice season, I’m sharing an easy and delicious recipe for glazed pumpkin spice cookies. When I made these cookies, it was about 80 degrees outside. But I didn’t care. I wanted to bake with pumpkin, regardless of the weather outside! 

Make sure you try these other tasty pumpkin recipes: instant pot pumpkin cheesecake, Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins, and pumpkin pie dip.

The smell of pumpkin wafting through my house was enough for me to close my eyes and imagine cool weather. My husband said they “taste like autumn”. Try them and let me know if you agree. 😉

We love the gooey vanilla glaze that goes over these soft and cakey pumpkin spice cookies. It’s one of our favorite things to pour over baked goods. Make sure you check out our recipe for banana blueberry muffins with vanilla glaze, too! We also love topping baked goods with cream cheese frosting, like this recipe for pumpking sheet cake with cream cheese frosting.
