Pumpkin Spiced and Iced Cookies

It may have been a month since my last post, but I am planning to kick it up a notch with the Holiday baking season starting! To say that the last month has been busy is an understatement, for example it took me 2 weeks to get all my laundry done and move my suitcase after my last trip...

Well, anyways. Since I had not baked in a month, I decided to make these great Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies! This recipe is from the Cookie Bible

Here's the recipe:
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsps pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups Chocolate Chips





Preheat over to 375. Beat butter and sugar in the mixer until creamy. Add and mix pumpkin, eggs and vanilla. Gradually add in flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chips. Drip by tablespoon (or cookie scoop) onto baking sheets.






Bake for 15 minutes or so.

Vanilla Glaze (I didn't do this part because Jordan does not like icing, weird!)
Combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 to 1 1/2 tbps milk and 1/2 tsp vanilla. 



Enjoy!
