Ingredients

Cookies:

1 1/2 cups butter softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Frosting:

1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Cookies:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment;set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in pumpkin, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually beat into butter mixture until combined.
Use a medium cookies scoop to form dough into balls. Drop onto prepared baking sheets and bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are just slightly beginning to brown on edges. Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting:

In a medium mixing bowl, using a handheld electric mixer set on medium speed, beat together cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and creamy. Beat in powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until smooth.
Frost completely cooled cookies and finish with a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
