Pumpkin Cookies w/ Penuche Frosting Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by á-382

Number Of Ingredients 17

FROSTING:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup 2% milk
2-1/2 to 3 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, pumpkin and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in pecans. 2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. 3. For frosting, in a small saucepan, bring brown sugar and butter to a boil. Cook and stir over medium heat 1 minute. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; beat in milk. Gradually beat in enough confectioners' sugar to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cookies. Yield: about 7 dozen.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your cookies a more intense pumpkin flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using it.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Decorate the cookies as desired: You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other decorations to decorate the cookies. Get creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

These pumpkin cookies with penuche frosting are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. They are soft and chewy with a delicious pumpkin flavor and a creamy, sweet frosting. They are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So what are you waiting for? Start baking!
