Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts

For Frosting

1/4 cup butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C). Grease two baking sheets with nonstick spray or line them with parchment paper.

- In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin.

- Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture and gently mix until well combined. Gently mix in the walnuts.

- Drop scoops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, allowing for a 2-inch space in between.

- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

- Meanwhile, make the frosting. In a bowl, beat the butter, vanilla, and cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.

- Spread frosting over the cooled cookies. Serve and enjoy!
