Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
⅔ cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup milk
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Beat brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat pumpkin, egg, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract into butter mixture.
Whisk flour, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, cloves, allspice, and salt together in a bowl. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and stir until dough is completely combined.
Fill a cookie press with pumpkin cookie dough. Press cookies 2-inches apart on baking sheets.
Bake cookies in batches in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, corn syrup, 4 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a bowl to an icing consistency. Dip cooled cookies in icing and shake gently to remove excess. Place iced cookies on a sheet of waxed paper while icing dries.
