How to Make Mrs Mac's Pumpkin Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree, 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and 2-4 tablespoons pumpkin puree until smooth and creamy. Add more pumpkin puree for a richer flavor and color if desired.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, frost them generously and enjoy!
