Time 25m

Yield approximately 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons Maple syrup
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground all spice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
1 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Zest of one lemon
Whole pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a mixer, fitted with a paddle, cream the sugar and the butter until light and fluffy. Add the maple syrup and eggs. Mix to incorporate. Add the pumpkin and mix to incorporate. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and cloves. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix well. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Cool on racks. When cool, ice with the cream cheese frosting.
  • For the Frosting: In a mixer, fitted with a paddle, add the cream cheese. Beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the powdered sugar until smooth. Add milk and vanilla. Beat until smooth. If frosting is too thick, thin with a little more milk. Fold in the lemon zest. When cookies are cool spread with some of the frosting. Garnish with a whole pecan.

These cookies are a waste of time and ingredients. Don't bother making them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the cookies didn't turn out well. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The cookies were too crumbly. They fell apart when I tried to pick them up.

I would have liked the cookies to be more pumpkin-y. I could barely taste the pumpkin.

The cookies were a bit dry, but the frosting helped to make them more moist.

I thought the cookies were a bit too sweet, but the frosting helped to balance out the flavor.

I didn't have any cream cheese, so I used a different type of frosting. The cookies were still delicious.

The cookies were easy to make and the frosting was simple to whip up. I'll definitely be making these again.
