Pumpkin Cookie Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl add the flour, soda and salt, pumpkin spice. Mix well, set aside.
In the bowl of your mixer cream the butter and oil until high and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.
Add the white sugar a little at a time and continue beating until the sugar is well incorporated. Turn the mixer off occasionally and scrape down the sides.
Add the pumpkin and one egg, beat until the egg is incorporated, add the second egg and beat until the second egg is just incorporated.
Turn mixer off, add the flour mixture, start on low mixing the flour ([prevents the flour from dusting your kitchen). Turn the mixer up to cookie speed and mix the dough until soft.
Using an ice cream scoop place the cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Flatten with either the bottom of a clean glass dipped in flour, or the palm of your hand.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.
Maple Cream Cheese Icing Directions
Beat 4 oz of cream cheese until fluffy.
Add the icing sugar, start on low (keeps the icing sugar from flying everywhere), then increase the speed.
Add the maple flavouring and beat until fluffy.
Add a the milk a tablespoon at a time until the icing is as thin as you like.
