Frosted Pumpkin Cookies Recipe
Frosted Pumpkin Cookies are soft, almost cake-like rounds of warm pumpkin spice with a silky cream cheese frosting that makes them feel less like a cookie and more like a small, seasonal celebration. These are the cookies that get requested by name every fall the moment the temperature drops.
Ingredients
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 tsps vanilla extract
3 cups Pioneer® Original Biscuit & Baking Mix or Pioneer Buttermilk Biscuit & Baking Mix
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
1 ½ cup pecans, chopped, toasted
1 can (16 oz) prepared vanilla or cream cheese frosting
This Frosted Pumpkin Cookies Recipe uses Pioneer Original or Buttermilk Baking Mix for the tender, cake-like base that makes these frosted pumpkin cookies the most irresistible seasonal bake of the whole year.
Instructions
- Heat the Oven
Heat oven to 350°F.
