Cream cheese frosting
- 4 oz cream cheese softened

Instructions
Pumpkin cookie base
- Preheat the oven to 350F/180C then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, cinnamon, and salt until the dry mixture disappears.
- Using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 12 equally sized cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently spray the back of a spoon, or your hands with non-stick cooking spray and flatten the cookies a little to about 2/3 inch in thickness. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-16 minutes, then let the cookies cool down on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
Cream cheese frosting
- In a stand mixer, cream the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar and continue whipping for 4-6 minutes or until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Place the frosting in a piping bag with a round piping tip and pipe the frosting on top of the cooled-down cookies. Decorate each cookie with mini chocolate chips and enjoy!
