Snack: Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Paula Deen's Pumpkin Spice Cookies are lightly spiced sugar cookies with pumpkin spice cream cheese frosting

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus 1/2 cup
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, plus 1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup butter and granulated sugar at medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract and rum extract, beating until combined. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until combined. Wrap the dough in heavy-duty plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 4-inch pumpkin cookie cutter to cut out the dough. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the edges are very lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the pans for 2 minutes. Then remove and cool completely on wire racks. Spread the Cinnamon Cream Cheese frosting on the cookies if using. Garnish with sprinkles.
