Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Penuche Glaze
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2-2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.2
Have ready some ungreased baking sheets.3
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and the sugars together until light and fluffy.4
Blend in pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract.5
In separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.6
Mix flour mixture into butter-sugar mixture.7
Drop tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.8
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges.9
Remove warm cookies and transfer to racks.10
Let cool completely for a least one half hour, then frost with glaze.11
For Glaze:.12
In a medium saucepan, heat butter and brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly. Cook, stirring constantly, for one minute or until slightly thickened. Beat in the milk. Blend in confectioner's sugar until the glaze is smooth and spreadable. Using a silicone basting brush, which I love and use religiously now, or a butter knife to spread glaze on cookies is the best tip. Please note; this glaze will harden fairly quickly. I suggest that you keep the saucepan over the stove on the lowest heat possible to prevent it from hardening.

Sara in FL you have a great recipe here. And laugh2survive thanks for the modifications. Even with all the healthy changes except the eggs these were really good. I didn't even bother to glaze them and they were good. I did use squash instead of pumpkin because the garden really did well in that area this year. These will be made for the holidays with the glaze. Update: Made these for Thanksgiving...everybody loved them, and when I did make them with 1/2 the fat, and whole grains. I made 1/2 a batch of penuche and it was plenty. These went even faster than the cheesecake.

The five star rating is for the GREAT cookies. I didn't make your penuche glaze. Instead I frosted them with some cream cheese frosting. These cookies are soft and wonderful. They only lasted a day at my house. I will be making them again for sure. Thanks.

If I would have rated this cookie recipe the day I made it, I would have only given it three stars. It's a good thing I waited because these cookies taste soooooooooo much better the second day!!! The day I made them, the cookies seemed a little bland and the glaze seemed a little sweet. However, after the second day, the glaze and cookie seemed to join forces to bring out a full body of flavor. The only change I made was to sprinkle the glazed cookies with chopped walnuts. Great recipe..........if you have the patience to wait for the flavors to blend! Thanks, Sara!

Every year my church has a cookie exchange before Christmas. The little old ladies were surprised when a 53 year old man showed up with his pumpkin cookies. They were a big hit! Made as discribed except I used pumpkin spice instead of straight cinnamon. I used Orange Glaze #73743 instead of the listed glaze. The combo was fantastic.
