Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cream 1/2 cup unsalted butter with 3/4 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 egg yolks, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually combine with wet ingredients.
  3. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded dough portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  4. Mix together 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the crumb topping and sprinkle over cookie dough.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are firm and centers are slightly soft. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. Optionally, glaze cookies after they cool by whisking together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons milk.
