- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cp pure maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 cps all-purpose flour

- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Pumpkin Frosting

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, dark brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla & egg. Beat until you have a smooth mixture.Add in the flour, baking soda & salt (a little at a time). Your dough should begin to form. Once you've got your dough, put it on a floured surface & begin working it into a large ball. Divide into two halves - set one half to the side.If your dough feels too wet, add flour to it (a tbsp at a time). Roll it out until it's about 1/4 inch thick. Take a cookie cutter of your choice, I used a pumpkin for Autumn & begin cutting out the cookies. Place each cookie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. When you have filled the baking sheet, place them in the oven for about 10 minutes. Repeat until you've used all your dough.Take them out of the oven, let sit for 5 minutes. When the 5 minutes is up, transfer to a cooling rack. While the cookies are cooling, go ahead & make your frosting. You''ll start by beating the softened butter & cream cheese until smooth. Add in the pumpkin, powdered sugar & cinnamon. Mix until you have a smooth frosting.Take a cookie & begin frosting. Repeat until you have frosted all the cookies.Sprinkle with a cinnamon & sugar mix.Serve & enjoy!
