I found this in an old cookie cookbook. Once I baked them, they were an instant Christmas classic in our house.

1 c. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 c. sugar
1 egg, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1 t. vanilla extract
1 c. pumpkin puree
2 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. ground cloves
1/4 t. freshly ground nutmeg
Orange Icing:
1/3 c. unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 c. confectioners sugar
2 to 3 T. orange juice


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.


Add the egg and vanilla, beat well.


Beat in the pumpkin puree.


Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg with a wire whisk.


Add flour mixutre to the batter, 1/2 c. at a time, mixing well after each addition.


Drop by teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart on to a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet.
