I made these yummy fall cookies today for my daughter to take for her 4K birthday snack on Monday. They are incredibly delicious and very easy. I love the frosting.
INGREDIENTS:
Cookie:
3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2tsp vanilla
1-15oz can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
2 1/2 cups flour
1tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Frosting:
3 cups powdered sugar
1tsp vanilla
3Tbsp milk
1/3 cup unsalted butter (Do not use margarine or spread. It will burn.)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Pre-heat oven to 375.
2. Beat butter, both sugars, and vanilla until well mixed.
3. Beat in pumpkin and eggs.
4. On low speed, beat in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well blended.
5. Using a 1Tbsp cookie scoop, drop onto a well greased cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until bottom is lightly brown and cookie is set.
7. Cool completely for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour.
8. In a medium mixing bowl, add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk.
9. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it's a medium brown color. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
10. Pour butter on top of powdered sugar mixture and beat on low speed for 1 minute until well mixed.
11. Add either more powdered sugar or milk if needed depending on desired consistency.
12. Frost the cooled cookies and let set (frosting will be more like a glaze and will harden when cooled)
Makes approximately 60 cookies
