There is something about these cookies that just capture everything wonderful about this time of year. Pumpkin, spice, cream cheese frosting, the perfect comfort food. If I could remember where I originally got this recipe I would give credit where it is due. Try this recipe, it is unbelievably good!
1/2 c. butter, soft
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 c. pumpkin
2 1/4 c. flour
2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. ginger
1/4 t. cloves
1 c. raisins (opt.)
1 c. walnuts (opt.)
Cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs, vanilla and pumpkin; blend well.
Mix in all dry ingredients. Stir in nuts and raisins if desired.
Drop onto cookie sheet, bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes (until *almost* set in middle, don't overbake). Cool on cookie sheet, frost when completely cooled.
Frosting:
1/4 c. soft butter
1 8oz pack of cream cheese, soft
1 t. vanilla
4 c. powdered sugar (one cup at a time)
