In our area there is a Pumpkin Festival held the first weekend in October.  The past several years we have gone to the festival because our church has a booth set up and we like to volunteer there.  This year we decided to participate in the Festival by entering their baking contest.  My Princess baked Pumpkin Bread but didn’t place.  She didn’t care…she got a participation ribbon and was happy enough with that!!

My youngest son however, entered a simple Pumpkin Cookie topped with Maple frosting and took Third Place.  He was so excited as was I.  An award winning baker…he’s gonna make someone a good husband one day!!
Here’s the recipe he used.

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt; set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup of butter and white sugar. Add pumpkin, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients. Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls; flatten slightly.
  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool cookies, then frost. 
THE BEST PART OF THESE COOKIES IS THE FROSTING 

This is the Maple Frosting recipe he used.  It’s from another cookie I love to make…but I’ll save that cookie recipe for another day.
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup boiling water
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. maple flavoring

Add the water in slowly to get the consistency that you like for your cookie.  I like my frosting nice and thick so I may use a little less water.
Mix all ingredients well and spread over cookies.

    Hey there!
    Sounds really tasty 🙂 I wanted to let you know that for another week or so there is a pumpkin recipe link up here, and about 15 entries will be chosen to be in a pumpkin cookbook. The winners will have their own page, and will be able to mention their blog and URL in the cookbook. If you’re interested in submitting your recipe, head on over to The 12 Days of Pumpkin Link Up and add it!

    Thanks!
