Preparation

Step 1

Spray an 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray; line with parchment paper; spray paper. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Whisk together flour, spices, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Cream butter and sugars until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and combine.

Add the pumpkin puree. Don't worry if the mixture looks curdled at this point; thats normal. Add flour mixture half a cup at a time, and beat until just combined.

Scrape batter into prepared pan and level with spatula. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Let blondies cool on rack. While blondies are cooling, make frosting. Place all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, 3 to 5 mins.

Remove cooled blondies from pan by pulling gently on parchment sling. Spread with frosting. Refrigerate.
