Soft Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Thanksgiving is a few days away! Make these cookies for your family and you surely will hear everyone say, "yum".


iced pumpkin cookies



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.
