- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla, then mix in the pumpkin puree and maple syrup until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on low speed until just combined. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are set and tops are puffed.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk or cream, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle or spread glaze on cooled cookies and let set for 10 minutes.
