This morning we made pumpkin cookies.

Pumpkin Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the dry ingrediants together in a bowl and set aside:

2 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon each salt, nutmeg, cloves, & ginger

Cream 1/2 cup softened butter with 1 1/2 cups sugar.

Add the wet ingrediants to the creamed sugar/butter mixture:

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Once the mixture is creamy, add the dry ingrediants just until combined. Do not over beat.

Drop onto a cookie sheet by the tablespoon. Bake 15-20 minutes.

I frosted mine with a can of cream cheese frosting I picked up at the store. It was the easy way out, but it tasted great with the cookies.

I think they were a hit.
