Steps:
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars until lightly and fluffy. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla and mix until thoroughly.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined. Use a cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons dough) to drop mounds onto a lightly greased cookie sheet leaving about 2-3 inches between each cookie dough mound. Use the palm of your hand to slightly flatten each mound (press down about 1/2 inch to flatten the top a little bit).
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, melt butter in a medium sauce pan and boil for 2 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, reduce heat to medium-low and boil for 2 minutes. Stir in milk, remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Stir in powdered sugar. Frost cooled cookies.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, 3/4 cup butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until well blended. Beat in pumpkin and eggs until well mixed. On low speed, beat in flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in center. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- In medium bowl, place powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 3 tablespoons milk. In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1/3 cup butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until light brown.
- Pour browned butter over powdered sugar mixture. Beat on low speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Gradually add just enough of the remaining 1 tablespoon milk to make frosting creamy and spreadable. Generously frost cooled cookies.

Tips:
- Soften the butter: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and ensure a smooth batter.
- Use canned pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin can be used, but it must be cooked and pureed before using. Canned pumpkin puree is a convenient shortcut that saves time and effort.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.
Conclusion:
These pumpkin cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. They are soft, chewy, and full of pumpkin flavor. The brown sugar glaze adds a delicious finishing touch. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these cookies at home and enjoy them all season long.
