Iced Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Iced Pumpkin Spice Cookies are soft, chewy, and topped with amazing cream cheese frosting! 

Hey everyone! Chelsea back from Chelsea’s Messy Apron and today we are doing pumpkin! Fall is my favorite season of the year and one of the top reasons is because of pumpkin cookies.

My ultimate favorite pumpkin cookies are these pumpkin oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies, but these are definitely on the top of the list!

These cookies are soft, chewy, and almost muffin-top like. The cream cheese frosting takes them over the top! I hope you love these cookies as much as we do!

!Cookies

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
• 1 and 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 CUP not entire cup pumpkin
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 and 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

!Frosting

• 1/4 cup butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
3. Beat in the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla.
4. On top add the flour, baking powder, soda, spices, and salt. Mix until combined.
5. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove and allow to completely cool.
