Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups pumpkin puree
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) white sugar
• 1.5 Tablespoons (tbsp) walnuts, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 14.1 Ounces (oz) pie crusts, packaged
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) water
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) cinnamon sugar

Glaze

• 0.25 Cups confectioners' sugar
• 0.5 Tablespoon (tbsp) maple syrup
• 0.5 Tablespoon (tbsp) milk

Steps

1. In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, walnuts, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla until well blended.
2. On a lightly-floured surface, roll out each pie crust thinly. Use a 2 1/4-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter to cut each crust into 20 circles, totaling 40 circles.
3. Place about 1 teaspoon of the pumpkin filling on 20 circles, leaving a 1/3 inch border. Avoid overfilling.
4. Moisten the edges of each filled circle with water. Top with another pie crust circle, pressing down the edges and crimping with a fork to seal. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Brush the tops of the cookies with the egg mixture and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar.
5. Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
6. Arrange a batch of cookies in the air fryer basket, ensuring space around each for air circulation.
7. Bake for about 7 minutes until golden brown. Remove to a rack to cool completely. Depending on your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches, adjusting timing as necessary.
8. For the glaze, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and milk to a drizzle consistency. Adjust thickness with more maple syrup or sugar as needed. Drizzle over cooled cookies and let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving.
