PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH BROWN BUTTER ICING

Ingredients

Cookies:

• 1/2 c. butter softened
• 3/4 c. white sugar
• 3/4 c. packed brown sugar
• 1 c. canned pumpkin puree
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 1/2 c. flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. clove
• 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Icing:

• 3 c. powdered sugar
• 1/2 c. unsalted butter
• 1/4 c. evaporated milk
• 2 tsp. vanilla

Instructions

Cookies:

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars.
2. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla; beat until well-blended.
3. In another large bowl, combine remaining ingredients (all the dry cookie ingredients).
4. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture and beat until just combined.
5. Drop on cookie sheets by tablespoonfuls, and flatten slightly.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.
7. Remove cookies to a wire rack. Cool completely.

Icing:

1. Put the powdered sugar in a medium bowl, and set aside.
2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown. (About 6-8 minutes.)
3. Remove from heat and immediately pour the browned butter over powdered sugar.
4. Whisk until somewhat mixed (it won't be quite enough liquid to saturate the sugar, but mix until butter is absorbed).
5. Add evaporated milk and vanilla, and vigorously whisk until smooth.
6. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of icing onto each cookie. Enjoy!
