Taylor's Favorite Pumpkin Cookies

Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Cookie Ingredients: 

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp. pumpkin spice
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Frosting Ingredients:

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla 

Cookie Preparation:

• Mix sugar, butter and egg. Add pumpkin and mix well.
• Mix dry ingredients and add to pumpkin mixture. Beat well.
• Use a small cookie scoop, drop dough onto baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 9-10 minutes.

Frosting Preparation:

• Mix cream cheese and butter together until fluffy.
• Blend in the vanilla. The icing should be smooth and spreadable. If too thick, add a splash of milk.

Allow cookies to cool completely, add frosting and enjoy! Taylor loves to have 1 (or 3!) with her morning cup of coffee.
