Method

In a large bowl, mix butter with brown sugar until smooth. Then, add the eggs, pumpkin puree and vanilla. After it's smooth, slowly add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking powder and soda. Beat until smooth. Using an ice cream scoop, drop onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake pumpkin cookies at 375 degrees F. for 10 to 15 minutes or when lightly browned. After cookies are completely cool, add frosting. Frosting: Brown the butter in a saucepan, then add to powdered sugar. Add the rest of ingredients with more or less milk and puree until desired consistency and taste.
