YIAH Pumpkin Pie Spice cookies


I first discovered pumpkin pie spice way back in 2009 {that recipe is still one of our favourites} Premixed pumpkin pie spice hadn't reached the shores of Australia yet, so I hunted down a recipe on Baking Bites {still a favourite baking blog to read, with recipes that never fail!} and always have a supply in the cupboard, mixed and ready to go.

So, when my sister became a Your Inspiration at Home consultant, I wasn't going to try the pumpkin pie spice, or the apple pie spice. After all, mixing them myself just made sense. But as part of this 31 cookies project, I really wanted to showcase the YIAH products in a way that hadn't been done by other consultants {the recipe inspiration on their website comes from consultants, not the company} Noella sent me some pumpkin pie spice, and I scoured pinterest for recipe ideas.

This recipe is absolutely perfect. The icing is creamy and tangy, and the cookie is crumbly with just the right amount of spice. I don't usually bother frosting cookies, but I'm really glad I did these ones, it sets off the cookie just right; another cookie that was devoured by everyone quickly and quietly, and will be added to regular rotation.

Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, softened (185g)
3/4 cup caster sugar
1 egg
1tsp vanilla extract
1tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 cups self raising flour
Frosting
1 cup icing sugar
60g butter, softened (3Tbs)
2Tbs cream
drop vanilla extract
1tsp pumpkin pie spice

Method
* cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy
* add egg and vanilla, mix well
* add flour and spice, mix well
* roll into balls, place on tray, bake 180°C 12-14min
* allow to cool slightly before placing on wire rack
** for frosting - mix all ingredients well, frost cookies when cool.
