Melt-in-Your-Mouth Pumpkin Cookies
Ingredients
2 cups butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 15-ounce can pumpkin
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-3/4 cups powdered sugar
Ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat 2 cups butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla; beat until combined. Beat in pumpkin. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.
Drop dough by heaping teaspoons 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until tops are set. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool.
In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar until melted and smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in powdered sugar until smooth. Spread frosting on cookies. If desired, sprinkle with additional cinnamon. Makes about 60 cookies.

Made these on Thursday. I am not going to say how many my husband and I have eaten in the past three days. O my… Suffice it to say, these are delicious. They truly do melt in your mouth. Thanks for sharing.
So, I totally read your blog every so often and I saw the button for your food blog on there. I want to make all of your recipes! But I started with these, and they were super yummy! With the last batch I ran out of frosting and didn’t want to make anymore so I threw in some semi-sweet chocolate chips and they were scruptious!! Anyway i will be checking up on this blog to see what new recipes you put on, Thanks Kristy!
I finally made these and they truly do melt-in-your-mouth!! Loved them.
