List of Ingredients
- 1/2 pound butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In an electric mixer, on medium speed, cream butter and brown sugar until light. Add egg and pumpkin. Mix until well blended.
- On low speed, add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Mix just until blended.
- Drop dough from a teaspoon onto parchment-lined cookie sheet, spacing each 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10-12 minutes, or until firm.
- Remove cookie sheet from the oven. Using a metal spatula, remove cookies from the cookie sheet and place on a wire cooling rack. Cool completely.
- Frost with cinnamon confectioners' icing. Place a wired cooling rack on top of a parchment lined cookie sheet. This will catch any excess frosting and make clean up easier. Using a small spatula or butter knife, frost the top of the cookie.
- Let frosting dry completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
