Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Fit a pastry bag with a large coupler and a 1/2-inch plain round (such as Ateco #806); set aside.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a medium bowl; set aside. Cream 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter and the brown sugar on medium speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs. Reduce speed to low. Add pumpkin, 3/4 evaporated milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; mix until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add flour mixture; mix until combined.
- Transfer 1 1/2 cups batter to a pastry bag. Pipe 1 1/2-inch rounds onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until tops spring back, about 12 minutes. Cool on sheets on wire racks 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely.
- Put confectioners' sugar in a large bowl; set aside. Melt remaining 10 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Immediately add butter to confectioners' sugar, scraping any browned bits from sides and bottom of pan. Add remaining 5 tablespoons evaporated milk and remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla; stir until smooth. Spread about 1 teaspoon icing onto each cookie. If icing stiffens, stir in more evaporated milk, a little at a time.

PUMPKIN DROP COOKIES
These tender, spiced pumpkin cookies with browned butter icing were adapted from Pat Young, the winner of the best pumpkin recipe at the 83rd Pumpkin Show in Circleville, Ohio, in 1989. They're almost cakelike in texture, and we think they taste best with a tall glass of milk.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then blending it until smooth, or you can use canned pumpkin puree.
- Brown the butter for the frosting until it is a deep golden color and smells nutty. This will give the frosting a rich, caramelized flavor.
- Make sure the cookies are completely cool before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting onto the cookies.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
These pumpkin cookies with browned butter frosting are the perfect fall treat. They are soft, chewy, and full of pumpkin flavor. The browned butter frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a rich, caramelized flavor that takes these cookies to the next level. Whether you're serving them at a Halloween party or enjoying them as a cozy snack on a cold autumn day, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
