- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup cooked, pureed pumpkin (fresh or canned)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups unbleached allpurpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Me and my wife made these and loved them even without the icing. We decided to use Cool Whip instead of the icing to give it just the right amount of sweetness!

I made these for thanksgiving, and they were a huge hit! They are more cake like than a cookie, but they were great none the less. They were extremely soft and the perfect texture. The frosting makes the cookie 10 times better, so i would suggest making it. Without the frosting the cookie is too bland for me.
