Pumpkin Cookies With Caramel Frosting
- Cookies
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup room temperature unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin (strongly recommend Farmer's Market Organic pumpkin...Libby's doesn't taste as good in this recipe)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Caramel Frosting
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
- Preheat oven to 375. Sift together the first five dry ingredients and set aside. Cream the butter well and add the sugar, pumpkin, egg, and last the vanilla. Add the dry to the wet ingredients. Bake on non-stick or greased cookie sheet for about 10 minutes until done. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- To make frosting combine the butter, brown sugar and milk in a small sauce pan. Boil exactly 2 minutes, stirring as it cools. When nearly cool, whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla. Frost quickly as it becomes firm quickly. Frequently a put it in a small pitcher and drizzle it over the cookies. If it becomes to firm, add a small splash of milk and stir.
