The Cookie Batter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients into a bowl. The batter should be very thick, but note that the baking soda will allow it to rise quite a bit and be fluffy once baked. Preheat oven at 350 degrees and bake for around 20 minutes.

Pre-baking
The Icing
2 cups confectioner's sugar
3 tbsp. milk
1 tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Once the cookies have been baked and cooled, mix all ingredients into a bowl. Lightly pour the mixture over your cookies to taste. The icing will harden and add a nice touch of sweetness, but this is optional since the cookies are already delicious without it!

Final touch: the icing!
