Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2

Cream together the butter, applesauce, and sugar using a stand mixer, handheld mixer, or just a whisk.

3

Add in the pumpkin puree and egg. Mix well.

4

Sift together the baking soda, cinnamon powder, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, salt, and flours.

5

Add the dry ingredients in batches to the wet ingredients. Mix just enough so no dry ingredients are visible.

6

Take 1/4 cup of the cookie mixture and place on a parchment line baking tray. Leave about a couple inches between the cookies since they do expand in the oven.

7

Bake cookies for 15 minutes.

8

While cookies are baking, mix the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and milk together until they are well combined and have a slightly runny frosting consistency.

9

Let the cookies cool for about 5-10 minutes before putting the frosting or any other decorations on to prevent them from melting. Enjoy!
