  • Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in medium bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter in large mixer bowl until well blended.
  • Add pumpkin, vino cotto, egg and vanilla. Beat well.
  • Gradually add flour mixture and beat until cookie batter is smooth.
  • Drop by heaping teaspoon onto prepared baking sheets, leaving a 1-1/2” space between each.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  • Allow to cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Place cookies on wire racks to completely cool. These are moist cookies, so we recommend not stacking the cookies because they may stick together.
  • Icing Instructions: Combine all Icing ingredients shown above in a small bowl. Mix until smooth. If icing is too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons more of milk to desired consistency. Drizzle or spread evenly over cooled cookies.
