Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Prepare the cookies: Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add pumpkin and egg and beat well.

In a separate large bowl, sift together remaining dry ingredients. Add to pumpkin mixture, beating to blend.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls and flatten into cookie shapes. Place on parchment-covered backing sheet and bake until light golden, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove and cool.

Meanwhile, prepare the icing: Combine brown sugar, milk, and butter in a small saucepan; bring to a boil and remove from heat. Whisk in sugar and vanilla until smooth.
