Boring Meeting Pumpkin Cookies

"These wonderful cookies were brought to our boring Faculty Senate meetings at school by Brianna, a 7th grade English teacher. All the teachers were instantly addicted! So moist and yummy. She also had a vanilla icing that went on top---with these ingredients---powdered sugar, butter, milk and vanilla extract. The only problem is that she never measured the ingredients for the icing--just whipped it up--as I do--so you'll have to kind of guess for yourself how much of each ingredient--all she told me was you need lots of powdered sugar and butter and just a little milk and vanilla extract. Good luck! (But even if you don't get the icing to turn out--the cookies themselves are out of this world!) The serving size may be off--I can't quite remember how much the recipe makes."

  1. I make these during the fall. Everyone is always asking me to make more. I do not top the cookies with icing and they still taste wonderful. Great recipe!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I currently live in West Virginia. I have two daughters, 10 and 7 yrs. I teach 4th grade at the small elementary school that they attend.<br /><br />Shortly before the birth of my youngest daughter, I started becoming interested in cooking, with great thanks to this site. &nbsp;I love trying new things. I used to collect cookbooks, and I still have quite a few, but since I've been a member of food.com, I have to admit that I don't use them much anymore. This is so much easier! <br /> <br />In addition to cooking, I enjoy spending time with my girls, reading, and shopping. I'm also a big Virginia Tech fan, hence my user name. It's where I went to school, so my loyalty lives on!&nbsp;</p>
