Recipe - Pumpkin Cookies

Pumpkin Cookies

To continue the fall recipe theme, here are some cookies that I make every fall, usually more than once.  I got the recipe from a friend whose husband was in school with Dan at ND.  They are light and fluffy and cakey, yum...

Beat together until fluffy:

• 1 Cup cooking oil
• 1 2/3 Cups sugar
• 1 (16oz) can of pumpkin

Stir together and add to pumpkin mixture above:

• 2 Cups flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. soda

Bake dollops of dough for 12-15 minutes at 350 degress on an ungreased cookie sheet.

When cool, frost with a mixture of:

• 1 (3oz) package of cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 Cup butter, softened
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 Cups (or more if needed) powdered sugar
