Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIES:

2 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup canned pumpkin

1 cup chopped toasted pecans

FOR BROWN SUGAR BUTTER FROSTING:

6 Tablespoons butter

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 cups sifted powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 to 3 teaspoons hot water, if needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and allspice. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat in the sugar. Add the egg; beat well. Stir pumpkin and flour mixture into egg mixture. Stir in the chopped pecans. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake cookies in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer the cookies to wire racks; cool.

Frost the cooled cookies with Brown Sugar Butter Frosting.

TO MAKE THE BROWN SUGAR BUTTER FROSTING:

In a medium saucepan heat 6 Tablespoons butter and brown sugar over medium heat until butter melts. Remove mixture from heat. Stir in sifted powdered sugar and vanilla. Add enough hot water to make a smooth, spreadable frosting. Frost cooled cookies immediately after preparing frosting. If frosting becomes grainy, add more drops of hot water and stir until smooth.

Makes about 40 cookies.

TO STORE:

Place in layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze unfrosted cookies up to 3 months. Thaw cookies, then frost.

The aroma from the oven while these bake will be incredible from the allspice. I love the finishing touch of the brown sugar butte frosting.
