  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans -optional

  • 1/2 cup 1/ and 1/2
  • 1 egg- slightly beaten

  • -------------glaze-------
  • 3 Tbsp. soft butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or chai tea concentrate
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Mix flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, salt together in large mixing bowl. Add in chopped pecans, diced apricots, and grated frozen butter.
  3. In a smaller bowl whisk together 1/2 and 1/2, egg, pumpkin, and vanilla.
  4. Gently fold in milk/egg/pumpkin mixture into flour mixture. Keep in mind, the more you mix the more dense it will be so go easy.
  5. Divide into two balls.
  6. Place on parchment-paper lined cookie sheets.
  7. Gently form into round disks ( approx 5 inches) about 3/4 thick.
  8. Slice into 6 pieces. Think Pizza!
  9. Move pieces away from each other so they bake, giving them about 2 inches of elbow room.
  10. Gently brush 1/2 and 1/2 over the top and add a few extra shakes of sugar. If you have Sugar in the Raw or a course sugar that would look extra amazing.
  11. Bake 20-25 minutes.
  12. Cool on rack.
  13. Drizzle with glaze.
