Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the sourdough starter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and flour. Gradually mix into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  4. Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  6. Beat the softened butter until creamy, then add in powdered sugar and maple syrup, mixing until smooth for the filling.
