Pumpkin Cookies

Around this time of the year, I swear my sweet tooth goes on overload!  I just can never eat enough cookies!  I am starting off my baking season with a cookie I make for Thanksgiving.  Since I am not a big pumpkin pie fan, I found another great alternative for pumpkin that everyone will love!

1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 t. vanilla
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt

In a mixer, beat together sugar, brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy.  Add pumpkin, vanilla an egg and blend well.  Add flour, baking soda, baking powder cinnamon, salt and mix well.  Drop rounded spoonfuls about an inch apart.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or just until the edges are light and golden brown.

Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1 t. cinnamon
2 t. milk
1 t. vanilla

(may need more powdered sugar)

Make sure cookies are cooled before you dip cookie in icing.  Enjoy!
