These soft cookies are almost like little pieces of cake. With chopped pecans sprinkled over a confectioners’ sugar frosting, they’re a pretty addition to a dessert table. —Bev Martin, Hardin, Montana

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
FROSTING:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 3 tablespoons boiling water
2 cups chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugars until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in pumpkin and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients; gradually add to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
