Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat baking mats. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, as necessary. Add the pumpkin, egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Don’t over mix.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for or 14 to 18 minutes or until edges are firm but cookies are still soft in the center. Cool on baking sheets for 2 to 5 minutes; transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter and cream (you can also use an electric hand mixer) and beat until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add the confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix on low for 30 seconds and then turn to medium speed and mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl, as necessary. If you want a thicker frosting add an additional ¼ cup to ½ cup of confectioner’s sugar and beat again.
- Frost the cooled cookies with cream cheese frosting
