- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 cup icing sugar

Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour and cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add cold water until a dough forms. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Create the Filling: Combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup in a bowl; stir until smooth.
- Roll Out the Dough: Roll out half the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into rectangles (3×4 inches).
