  • In medium bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda. Beat into the pumpkin mixture until combined.

  • Spoon by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the tops seem firm. Remove and cool on wire racks.

  • Spread Cookie Glaze over the cookies. Sprinkle with the chopped nuts, if you like. Makes 42 to 48 cookies.

Cookie Glaze

In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, and 1 tablespoon milk. Heat over medium heat until butter melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. (If glaze becomes too thick, stir in a few drops of hot water.) Makes 3/4 cup.
