PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH CARAMEL FROSTING
Ingredients
Cookies
1
cup butter, softened
1/2
cup white sugar
1/2
cup brown sugar
1
cup canned pumpkin
1
egg
1
teaspoon vanilla
1
teaspoon baking soda
1
tablespoon cinnamon
1/2
teaspoon cloves
1/2
teaspoon nutmeg
1/2
teaspoon ginger
1/2
teaspoon salt
2
cups all-purpose flour
Frosting
3
tablespoons butter
1/4
cup heavy cream
1
cup confectioners' sugar
1
teaspoon vanilla
1/2
cup packed brown sugar
Pinch
of salt
Directions
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Add
eggs and vanilla and mix well. Stir in pumpkin. In a medium bowl, sift together
the baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, salt and flour. Add to
pumpkin mixture and mix well. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto a lightly
greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
To
make frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine butter, cream, and brown sugar
over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture just begins to
boil; remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool then stir in confectioner's
sugar. Spread frosting over cooled cookies.
Let's Dish
The
frosting is the star of these cookies, and it's a nice change from the cream
cheese frosting that often accompanies pumpkin desserts (I love that version
too, though). Really, they're more like little pumpkin cakes. They're so moist,
I've left them out on the counter overnight and they were still fantastic the
next day. These don't flatten much during baking, and the dough is a bit sticky
to flatten it before baking. I flatten mine slightly with the bottom of a glass
just as they come out of the oven. Once they're frosted, no one knows! This
recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies.
My Icing:
1/2 stick soften butter
4oz cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
1-2 tbls milk
2 cups powdered sugar
Beat butter & cream cheese, add vanilla & caramel, add powdered sugar and milk as needed to get a creamy icing consistency. Spread on cookies.
Keep refrigerated.
Enjoy!
