Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Beat brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat pumpkin, egg, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract into butter mixture.
Whisk flour, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, cloves, allspice, and salt together in a bowl. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and stir until dough is completely combined.
Fill a cookie press with pumpkin cookie dough. Press cookies 2-inches apart on baking sheets.
Bake cookies in batches in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, corn syrup, 4 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a bowl to an icing consistency. Dip cooled cookies in icing and shake gently to remove excess. Place iced cookies on a sheet of waxed paper while icing dries.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
