Soft Pumpkin Cookies Soft Pumpkin Cookies ---------------------- 2-1/2 c. flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened 1-1/2 c. sugar 1 c. solid pumpkin 1 egg 1 tsp. vanilla Combine flour, baking powder and soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside. Cream together butter and sugar in larger mixer bowl. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla. Beat until light and creamy. Add dry ingredients; mix well. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet. Smooth tops of cookies. Bake 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Drizzle with glaze. GLAZE: In small bowl, combine 2 c. sifted powdered sugar, 3 Tbsp milk, 1 Tbsp melted better or margarine* and 1 tsp. vanilla. Blend until smooth.  I added instead of 1 t. of vanilla, I did 1/2 t. cinnamon extract and 1/2 t. vanilla.  Thought it went well with the spice in the cookie.
