- ½ cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 15 oz can canned pure pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)

Frosting
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or other milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions

- In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars until lightly and fluffy. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla and mix until thoroughly.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined. Use a cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons dough) to drop mounds onto a lightly greased cookie sheet leaving about 2-3 inches between each cookie dough mound. Use the palm of your hand to slightly flatten each mound (press down about 1/2 inch to flatten the top a little bit).

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and pour into a large bowl. Add powdered sugar and mix in completely. Frost cooled cookies.
