Playing with Pumpkin Part II

I found this recipe from Carrie's Cooking Adventures. She got the recipe from Allrecipes. When I saw these I knew I had to try them. They are pretty good! Perfect for the holiday season.

Pumpkin 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

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt; set aside.

2) In a medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup of butter and white sugar. Add pumpkin, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients. Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls; flatten slightly.

3)Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. **I think I baked mine for maybe 10 min

The original recipe calls for an icing over the cookies.

Ingredients for icing:

2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cool cookies, then drizzle glaze with fork.
