Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream butter and sugar together with a mixer. Add pumpkin puree, egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until creamy.
Add the dry ingredients and combine just until blended. Drop spoonfuls of dough on a cookie sheet ( I used my cookie scoop).
Bake cookies for 15-20 minutes until set. Do not overcook. Allow cookies to cool completely.
While cookies are cooling to make the glaze – Combine the glaze ingredients until well blended. Place glaze in a quart sized freezer bag and seal closed. Cut a small piece of the corner on the freezer bag and pipe glaze over the cookies. Makes 36 cookies.
