How to Make Pumpkin Cookies With Frosting

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease cookie sheets.
Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 cup pumpkin puree until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in 1 cup raisins (optional).
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While cookies cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup butter, and ¼ cup milk.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Once cookies are completely cool, frost generously and enjoy!
