                            Pumpkin Spice Cookies

                          Cookies:              
                                 1 1/2 cups flour 
                                 1 tsp. baking soda
                                 1 tsp. baking powder
                                 1 tsp. cinnamon
                                 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
                                 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
                                 1/4 tsp. salt
                                 1 1/2 cups sugar
                                 1/2 cup butter, softened
                                 1 cup pumpkin
                                 1 egg
                                 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
                          
                         Glaze: 
                                 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
                                 3 tablespoons milk
                                 1 tablespoon melted butter
                                 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350*.
Combine the first seven ingredients in a medium bowl. 
Beat the sugar and butter together until well combined, then add the pumpkin, egg and vanilla. 
Mix well, then gradually beat in the dry ingredients, and mix it well. 
Place by tablespoon on greased baking  sheets and bake for 15-17 minutes. Cool completely before putting the glaze on. 
For the glaze, mix all of the ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the cookies and enjoy! :) 

Note from Nutmeg: In order to make the glaze look "prettier" I put it in a small plastic sandwich bag and cut a little hole in the corner, then piped it on that way. It makes less of a mess. :)
