Pumpkin Cookies
I love to fix these around Thanksgiving. My dad calls them pumpkin pie in your hand cookies. They are quick to disappear.
2½ cups flour 1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ cup butter 1½ cups brown sugar
2 eggs 1 cup pumpkin
½ tsp lemon extract ½ tsp vanilla
1 cup nuts
Combine butter, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin, and extracts. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Add the nuts. Place small mounds of dough on the cookie sheets. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes. Cool and Ice.
Cookie Icing: Beat together ½ cup butter, 4½ cups powdered sugar, 4 Tbsp milk, and 1½ tsp maple extract. Spread over cooled cookies.
