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



Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting (The World's Best!) image

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!

PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH CARAMEL FROSTING



Pumpkin Cookies with Caramel Frosting image

These soft, cake-like pumpkin cookies smell wonderful and are a great reminder of autumn. The recipe came from my great-grandmother and yields a small batch, so we sometimes double it. The caramel frosting is glaze-like and quite thin, so it helps to place the cooled cookies on waxed paper while frosting. I usually use an entire can of pumpkin, rather than letting a small portion of it go to waste. Store in an airtight container for very soft cookies, store in a loosely covered container for firmer cookies.

Time 1h20m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins
½ cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cream butter and brown sugar for cookies together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Stir in pumpkin, then egg. Add baking soda, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in flour. Mix in walnuts and raisins.
  • Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake each sheet on the bottom rack in the preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes; continue to bake on the top rack until edges are golden, 6 to 7 minutes more. Continue with remaining cookie sheets in this manner. Let cookies cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • While the cookies cool, melt brown sugar, milk, and butter for frosting in a medium pot over low heat. Bring to a boil; continue to boil mixture for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool for 3 to 10 minutes. The longer the mixture is cooled, the thicker the frosting will be on the cookies.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the frosting mixture, stir well, and drizzle or spread onto cooled cookies. Allow the cookies to cool for 1 to 2 hours before stacking.

The original recipe didn't have any nuts in the ingredient list so I tried 1 cup and that seemed to be fine. No milk was listed so I used about 1 tablespoon in the icing.
