Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats.

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes until pale and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth with no lumps.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet batter and fold gently or mix on low speed just until combined to avoid toughness.

Scoop out tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are set but centers are still slightly soft. Allow to cool completely on wire racks before frosting.

For the cinnamon frosting, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar until fluffy, then mix in vanilla extract and cinnamon.

Frost the completely cooled cookies generously with the cinnamon frosting using a knife or piping bag.
