I made pumpkin spice cookies with cream cheese frosting. I made these because once fall begins, I love all pumpkin flavored things!

Supplies

Ingredients for cookies

· 2 ½ cups of all purpose flour

· 1 tsp of baking soda

· 1 tsp of baking powder

· ½ cup of brown sugar

· ½ cup of granulated sugar

· 1 tbsp of cinnamon powder

· ¼ tsp of ground nutmeg

· ¼ tsp of ground cloves

· 1 tsp of vanilla extract

· ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

· 1 cup of pumpkin puree

· Salt

Ingredients for frosting

· 4 oz of cream cheese

· 2 tbsp of butter

· 1 tbsp of milk

· ½ tsp of vanilla extract

· ½ cup powdered sugar

Step 1: Setting Up

Before beginning, preheat the oven to 350℉. This gives us time to mix everything while the oven gets ready for use!

Step 2:

Mix the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl for 3 minutes.

Step 3:

Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla. Mix until well combined.

Step 4:

Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pinch of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix in a folding manner until a dough is formed. If it is too hard to fold in, you case use your hands to make the process faster!

Step 5:

Pinch off about 2 tbsp of dough and roll it into a ball. Tip: Rinse your hands with water before rolling the dough into balls. This prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands.
