Ingredients

For the cookies:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter - at room temperature
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup can pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

For the icing:

2 Tablespoons butter - melted
2 Tablespoons half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla
 2 cups powdered sugar - or to right of consistency

Instructions

For the cookies:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and
salt; set aside.
3. In a mixer, cream together the butter (that is at room temp) and sugar. Add
pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla to mixture; and beat until creamy.
4. Mix in dry ingredients and drop on cookie sheet using a cookie scoop.
5. Bake for 12-13 minutes in the preheated oven or until cookies are slightly
browned on top.
6. Cool cookies on a baking rack.

For the icing:

1. Combine the melted butter, half and half, and vanilla. Then add enough
powdered sugar to make it easy to spread but not too runny that it runs off the
cookie.
2. Spoon the icing on top of the cooled pumpkin cookies.

Notes
1. Bake them for less time for a gooey cookie.
2. You can use a decorating kit to ice the cookies as well.
3. We like these cookies best cold. Store them in the refrigerator (or freezer) and
enjoy them anytime, with a cup of coffee - of course!
