Pumpkin Spice Cookies w/ Cinnamon Frosting

By á-3948

An easy cookie to make using Betty Crocker's Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix.

Ingredients

• Cookie:
• 1 box pumpkin spice cookie mix
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 egg
• 1/2 stick of butter, softened
• Frosting:
• 1 stick of butter, softened
• 4 cups of confectioners’ sugar
• 1/4 cup of milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 to 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• I skipped the vanilla as suggested by the lady who I adapted recipe from **

Preparation

Step 1

Cookie:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a cookie sheet with a sheet of parchment paper, or with grease and flour.
Dump the cookie mix, pumpkin puree, egg and soft butter into a bowl and mix it all just until combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough about two inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Frosting:

Put the butter in the bowl of mixer and beat until smooth.
Add the confectioners’ sugar, milk, vanilla (if you want; I thought it overwhelmed the cinnamon flavor) and cinnamon*.
Mix until blended and creamy; make sure to scrape the bowl with a spatula occasionally to get any renegade cinnamon hiding at the bottom.
Frost the cookies once they’ve cooled. I also topped with a candy pumpkin.
