Category: Holiday, Kids, Cookies

 Ingredients List

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 tsp milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Caramel Frosting
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

 Directions


1. With an electric mixer, beat together sugar and oil. Add egg, milk, canned pumpkin and vanilla and blend well. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix, just until incorporated. Drop batter by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.
2. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting.

For the frosting

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, cream, brown sugar and salt, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and 1 cup powdered sugar. Let the frosting cool to room temperature and then stir in enough additional powdered sugar to make a good frosting consistency (you may not use the whole extra cup.) Spread the frosting over the cooled cookies.
