PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (THE WORLD'S BEST!)

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:
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar.
- Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla; beat until light and creamy.
- Mix in dry ingredients until well blended.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto greased cookie sheet.
- Smooth tops of cookies.
- Bake in preheated 350°F degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine glaze ingredients, stirring until smooth and set aside.
- Cool baked cookies on wire rack.
- Drizzle glaze over top.
- For variations, stir any one of the following ingredients into batter: 1 cup raisins, chopped nuts, or rolled oats and/or 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it, or you can use canned pumpkin puree. If using canned pumpkin puree, be sure to drain off any excess liquid before using it.
- To make the cookies extra soft, cream the butter and cream cheese together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth, even batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
Conclusion:
These soft cream cheese pumpkin spice cookies are the perfect fall treat. They are soft, chewy, and full of pumpkin flavor. The cream cheese frosting adds a delicious tang that takes these cookies to the next level. Whether you're enjoying them on a cool autumn day or serving them at a holiday party, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
