Directions

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets.

To make the cookies: Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a medium bowl. Cream together sugar and butter in a mixing bowl until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla; beat until creamy. Mix in flour mixture until combined.

Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets; flatten slightly.

Bake in the preheated oven until centers are set, 15 to 20 minutes, switching racks halfway through. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the icing: Stir together the confectioner's sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Add milk as needed, to achieve drizzling consistency.

Drizzle icing over cooled cookies with a fork.
