Pumpkin Cookies With Brown Sugar Frosting Recipes

PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH BROWN SUGAR FROSTING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
• In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars until lightly and fluffy. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla and mix until thoroughly.
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined. Use a cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons dough) to drop mounds onto a lightly greased cookie sheet leaving about 2-3 inches between each cookie dough mound. Use the palm of your hand to slightly flatten each mound (press down about 1/2 inch to flatten the top a little bit).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• To make the frosting, melt butter in a medium sauce pan and boil for 2 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, reduce heat to medium-low and boil for 2 minutes. Stir in milk, remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Stir in powdered sugar. Frost cooled cookies.
• Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.

PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH BROWNED BUTTER FROSTING

• On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in center. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.

• Pour browned butter over powdered sugar mixture. Beat on low speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Gradually add just enough of the remaining 1 tablespoon milk to make frosting creamy and spreadable. Generously frost cooled cookies.
