PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (THE WORLD'S BEST!)
After getting this recipe from a friend, I have made them over 100 times for family and friends and they are always a hit, especially around Halloween and Thanksgiving! As far as the spices go, less is more; this is not a full-on pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread/cake. They're light and moist cookies with a taste of fall in every bite!

Steps:
- make the donuts: whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, nutmeg and cloves. beat sugar and butter in large bowl until blended (mixture will be grainy). beat in egg, then yolks and vanilla. gradually beat in buttermilk; fold in pumpkin in 4 additions. cover with plastic and chill 3 hours.
- sprinkle a baking sheet lightly with flour. press out part of the dough on floured surface to 1/2 to 2/3 inch thickness. using 2 1/2 inch diameter round cutter, cut out dough rounds until all dough is used. using 1-inch-diameter round cutter, cut out center of each dough round to make doughnuts and doughnut holes. toward the end of making the donuts, i simply formed them into rough patties by hand and poked out the hole with my thumb.
- place a cooling rack on a baking sheet (for draining the donuts). pour oil into large deep skillet to depth of 1 1/2 inches (or fire up your deep fryer). attach deep-fry thermometer and heat oil to 365 F to 370°F fry doughnut holes in batches until golden brown, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes. using a slotted spoon, transfer to the cooling rack to drain. fry doughnuts, 2 or 3 at a time, until golden brown, adjusting heat to maintain temperature, about 1 minute per side. Using slotted spoon, transfer doughnuts to cooling rack. give the donuts and holes a pat with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- make the frosting: soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 30 seconds. blend in the pumpkin, butter, orange juice, zest and vanilla in a mixer or by hand. add the sugar and beat until light and creamy. spread on donuts or just dip the donuts and holes right into the frosting as you eat.

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin, or you can use canned pumpkin puree.
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the donuts dry and tough.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the donuts tough.
- Fry the donuts in hot oil. The oil should be at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the donuts. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the donuts will not cook evenly.
- Drain the donuts on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Let the donuts cool completely before frosting them.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin donuts with pumpkin cream cheese frosting are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. These donuts are also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. So next time you have some leftover pumpkin puree, be sure to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!
