Pumpkin cookies with vanilla glaze

Cookie:



2 1/2 c flour


1 tsp baking powder


1 tsp baking soda


2 tsp ground cinnamon


1/2 tsp ground nutmeg


(the recipe also called for 1/2 tsp of ground cloves-I didn’t have it so I didn’t use it)


1/2 tsp salt


1/2 c butter, softened


1 1/2 c sugar


1 cup of pumpin puree


1 egg


1 tsp vanilla extract


Glaze:


2 c confectioners sugar


3 tbsp milk (may need 1-2 tbsp more depending on desired consistency)


1 tbsp melted butter


1 tsp vanilla extract


Preheat 350. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.


In medium bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla to butter mixture and beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients. Drop on greased cookie sheets by tbsps-flatten slightly.


Bake 15-20 mins (mine came out good between 15-16 mins). Cool cookies then drizzle glaze over.


To make glaze, combine confectioners sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Add milk as needed to achieved desired drizzling consistency.


PS. I hated these cookies until I put the glaze on (with a heavy hand of course). I, however, do not like pumpkin flavored anything. Eric, on the other hand, loved them with and without the glaze.
