Pumpkin Cookies with Penuche Frosting
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, and mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
-
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the penuche frosting. Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on each cookie.
-
Allow the frosting to set for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
