Britt's Pumpkin Cookies

Warning: The following recipe is very addictive and can lead to extra pounds on the hips!

Cream Together:
2 C sugar
2 C butter
2 eggs

Add:
2 tsp vanilla
2 C pumpkin

Combine:
4 C flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Grease cookie sheet and drop cookie dough on pan. Cook in preheated 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes.

While cookies are baking make the icing:

In a saucepan combine:

1C butter
2C brown sugar
1/2C milk
Stir constantly and let boil for 1 minute. Add 1 tsp vanilla. Pour into a glass bowl and refrigerate until cool. When cool whip in icing sugar until you get a nice thicker consistency (but still can be easily spread)

These are not the prettiest cookies but they taste so good that it does not matter!
