Instructions
- Prepare the streusel topping by mixing chilled unsalted butter and brown sugar until creamy, then add flour, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt to create a crumbly texture. Refrigerate while making cookie dough.
- Dry the pumpkin by spreading it on a paper towel-lined surface and pressing with more paper towels until reduced to about 1/4 cup.
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in egg yolks and vanilla, fold in dried pumpkin, and combine with dry ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls on a lined baking sheet, indent each ball, and top with streusel.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers are soft. Reshape if necessary and cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth, adjust milk for desired thickness, then drizzle over cookies after they cool.

Notes
Properly dry the pumpkin to achieve the best chewy texture. Use a kitchen scale for accurate flour measurements.
