Thanksgiving is a few days away! Make these cookies for your family and you surely will hear everyone say, "yum".
Ingredients
(makes approximately 3 dozen cookies)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing Ingredients
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of cinnamon (if desired)
Directions
Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt, then set aside.
Cream 1/2 cup of butter and white sugar. Add pumpkin, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy.
Mix in the dry ingredients until well blended.
Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls; flatten slightly.
Bake in preheated oven to 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
Glaze Directions
Combine confectioners’ sugar (a.k.a. powdered sugar) milk, melted butter and vanilla. You may have to add a bit more milk to achieve the right consistency for drizzling.
I added a dash of cinnamon for just a little hint of that cinnamon flavor.
Drizzle over cookies with fork. You will run out of icing if you cover all your cookies as much as I did. I made a full batch of icing and and I left about 10 without icing at the request of my hubby but had no leftovers. Mmm…icing.
I got this from HERE.
