For the first pumpkin taste of the fall, Maggie and I made a delicious batch of homemade pumpkin cookies.. I hope you enjoy as much as we did!
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsps ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter and white sugar. Add pumpkin, egg, and 1 tsp vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients. Drop on cookie sheet by the spoonful.
Bake 15-20 minutes. Allow cookies to cool then drizzle glaze with a fork.
To make glaze: combine confectioner's sugar, milk, 1 tbsp melted butter and teaspoon vanilla. Add milk as need to achieve drizzling consistency. Enjoy!
