PUMPKIN SPICE SOFT SUGAR COOKIES
If a homemade pumpkin pie and a soft sugar cookie had little cookies of their own, well, let these speak for themselves. Add your favorite seasoned nuts if you wish. I happened to have had some caramelized sugar I had previously made and I crushed this up and added to the top of some of the cookies just before baking.

Steps:
- Cream together the butter and brown sugar until light & fluffy (about 3-4 minutes on medium speed). Add in the turbinado sugar, and cream for an extra minute or so. Add the baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice; mix well. Add the egg & milk; beat well. Add the flour, mixing until well-combined. The dough should be soft & not sticky. Turn out onto sheets of waxed paper & roll. Cut out shapes, and transfer to baking sheets lined with parchment paper or Silpat liners. Freeze sheets for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 365°F. Remove cookies from freezer and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges begin to have a hint of brown. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with royal icing, if desired. These are FABULOUS plain, too! ** Substitutions: You can substitute regular granulated sugar for the turbinado sugar. You'll lose those little bits of "crunch," but the end result is just as tasty. Alternately, you can also use just the brown sugar, but you'll need to increase it to 1 1/4 cups total. You can use regular all-purpose flour with great results as well. It is not quite as dense as whole wheat flour, so make sure you change the amount to about 3 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour instead.

Steps:
- Mix cake mix, pumpkin puree, and seasonings until well blended.

- Bake at 350° for 25 minutes.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove to a baking rack to finish cooling.
- Combine Icing ingredients, and drizzle over the top of the cooled cookies.
Tips:
- Use fresh, flavorful spices. This will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, use ground spices instead, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them crisp up on the outside and stay soft and chewy on the inside.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
