Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg.
  3. Prepare the pumpkin by blotting it with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a stand mixer, beat melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy. Add vanilla, pumpkin puree, and yolk, mixing until smooth.
  5. Gradually combine the dry and wet mixtures, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Allow cooling on sheets before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the glaze by beating together cream cheese and butter, then mix in powdered sugar and milk for desired consistency.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over cooled cookies.
