1. Preheat the oven to 350º F and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Beat the butter and both sugars together (by hand or with electric beaters) until smooth and then beat in the egg. Add the pumpkin puree and stir in well.
3. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices and add this to the pumpkin batter, stir until evenly mixed. Use an ice cream scoop and scoop cookies onto the baking trays, leaving 2-inches between them.

2. Pipe or spread the frosting onto each cookie and enjoy. Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top of each frosted cookie. |
