My husband’s cousin just got her mission call and I brought these to celebrate when she opened it! The pumpkin & caramel flavors are a perfect combination. These cookies melt in your mouth! Hurry and make these for someone you love (or for yourself) I won’t tell anyone 😉
And if caramel icing is not your thing, don’t worry, I have another pumpkin cookie recipe I can’t wait to share with you on Monday.

Author: Adell Goff
Recipe type: Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 2¼ cup flour
- 1 cup quick oats

- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt

- FOR THE ICING:

- ¼ - ½ cup whipping cream
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together the sugars and butter.

- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt then add to the wet ingredients.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting.
- FOR THE ICING:
- Melt the butter over medium heat then add the brown sugar. Heat until bubbling and thick (careful not to burn)
- Cool for 10 min. then add the whipping cream and powdered sugar.
- Frost cooled cookies.
Notes
You can use milk in the icing if you don’t have whipping cream. Just start with ¼ cup and add till it is the consistency you like. I like whipping cream because it makes a thicker frosting. Also, half way through frosting the cookies, I added more whipping cream (about 2 T.) because it started to get too thick.
