Method

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.

3. 3

   Add the rest of the wet ingredients (molasses, pumpkin purée, and vanilla) to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold them in until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. 6

   Spoon about one tablespoon of the sticky dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. 7

   To handle the sticky dough, slightly wet your hands and gently pat down each cookie to flatten it a little.

8. 8

   Bake for 10-12 minutes.

9. 9

   While the cookies are baking, prepare the frosting. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk. Mix until smooth and well combined.

    Once the cookies have baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack.

11. 11

    Spread the cream cheese frosting on top of the cooled cookies.

    Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and enjoy
