Ingredients

For the Cookies:

½ cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar packed
2 & ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
pinch ground nutmeg fresh
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin puree

For the Frosting:

½ cup unsalted butter softened
1 8-oz package cream cheese softened
1 & ½ - 2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ - 1 teaspoon cinnamon or more to taste

Instructions

For the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter with the sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg, then vanilla, then pumpkin. (Mixture will appear separated, but that is normal.)
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just incorporated.
Drop by tablespoons onto baking sheets and bake for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are set and bounce back slightly when touched (do not over bake).
Remove immediately to a wire rack to cool.
For the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and cream cheese and whip on medium speed until combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Let stand for about 10 minutes.
Whip again to make frosting light and airy, about another 2-3 minutes.
Add powdered sugar, a little at a time to avoid a mess, and whip until combined.
Add vanilla and cinnamon and mix until incorporated.

Notes

Change it Up:
Add a handful of chocolate chips and/or pecan pieces to the cookie batter before baking.
