3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs
2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 to 4 tablespoons milk

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • If you don't have a pumpkin spice mix, you can make your own by combining 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  • Don't overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. If you overbake them, they will be dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin spice cookies with brown sugar frosting are the perfect fall treat. They're soft, chewy, and full of pumpkin spice flavor. The brown sugar frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a sweet and creamy flavor to the cookies.
