Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten (room temperature preferred)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoons baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

FROSTING

  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 6 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ heaping teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar*

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together cooled melted butter and sugars. Add pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla and stir very well to combine.
  • Whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then gradually stir into wet ingredients. Stir until ingredients are thoroughly combined and batter is smooth, but do not over-mix.
  • Drop batter by rounded tablespoon-sized scoops onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet, spacing scoops at least 2" apart. Bake on 375F (190C) for 9 minutes.
  • Allow to cool on baking sheet before filling with icing.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream together butter and cream cheese. Gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined and mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  • Pipe or spread onto the bottom of one cooled pumpkin cookie, then top with another cookie. Serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
