Pumpkin Spice Cookies

These cookies are more cake like than chewy. They are very moist and have just the right spice...

Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
4 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 15oz. can pumpkin puree
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For glaze:
2 cups confectioners sugar (icing sugar)
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chopped nuts of choice 

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and set aside.
2. Cream together the butter, white and brown sugar. Add pumpkin, eggs, and 2 tsp. vanilla to butter mixture. Beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients. Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoons. The dough is very sticky and I found this tool to be helpful.

3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool cookies. Drizzle glaze over cookies with a fork.

4. To make glaze: Combine confectioners' sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Add milk as needed to achieve a good drizzling consistency. After you drizzle the cookies add some finely chopped nuts if you like.

This recipe will make 5 dozen cookies.
