The Recipe: Cookies with Pumpkin Spice

Cookie Ingredients:

• 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
• 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans (if you’re in the mood for a nutty adventure)

Cookie Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and give your baking sheet an aluminum foil hug.
2. Take your softened butter and granulated sugar, and let them become best buddies in a big mixing bowl – whip them until they’re all light and fluffy.
3. Now, let the canned pumpkin, egg, and vanilla extract join the party. Mix them up until it’s a smooth blend of yum.
4. In another bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves – these are like your secret ingredients to happiness.
5. Slowly add your dry ingredient mix into the wet one, and give them a gentle mix until they’re well-acquainted. If you’re up for a nutty twist, toss in those chopped walnuts or pecans.
6. Drop spoonfuls of this delicious dough onto your prepared baking sheet, giving them a little space to spread their cookie magic.
7. Pop them into the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until they’ve got that golden edge and they’re all set in the middle.
8. Let them have a chill moment on the baking sheet for a bit, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool down completely. Patience, my friend, it’s so worth it!

Cream Cheese Icing Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter
• 1 package of softened cream cheese
• 4 cups of powdered sugar

Frosting Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat them until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, while mixing on low speed. Once each addition is incorporated, increase the speed to medium and continue mixing until the icing is smooth.
3. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix again on medium speed until everything is well combined and the icing is fluffy.
4. Taste the icing and adjust the sweetness or flavor if needed. You can add a bit more powdered sugar for a sweeter taste or more vanilla extract for extra flavor.
5. Once the icing reaches your desired consistency and flavor, it’s ready to use.
6. Spread generously on top of your cookies with pumpkin or cut the cookies in half and create a pumpkin sandwich!
