Fluffy pumpkin spice waffle cookies with notes of maple syrup, embossed with a fun waffle pattern. Topped with cinnamon buttercream, a drizzle of maple syrup, and crushed toasted pecans!
In case you’re wondering, yes – I was inspired by my favorite Fall candle for these cookies!
Here’s a quick breakdown:
Pumpkin spice waffle cookie: This recipe starts with a light and fluffy cookie lightly flavored with natural pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and real maple syrup.
Cinnamon buttercream: Each cookie is topped with an adorable dollop of homemade cinnamon buttercream.
Additional toppings: Finish things off with a delicious drizzle of maple syrup and crushed pecans for extra sweetness.
If you have time, I highly recommend toasting the pecans beforehand! Simply spread the crushed pecans on a baking sheet and bake for about 4-5 minutes at 350°F. The extra toasty flavor will really elevate it!
