Ingredients:
cookies

2 eggs
2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Filling/cream cheese frosting

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4-5 cups confectioners sugar

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat the eggs, brown sugar, oil, and
vanilla in mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin. In a
seperate bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture a half
cup at a time, blending each time until smooth.

Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto a ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes. Put on wire rack and let cool completely.

Meanwhile , make the frosting. Beat together the cream cheese,
butter and vanilla in a bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in powdered

spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting on each one. Top
them witht the rest of the cookies (turned right side up) Makes 10
to 14 pilgrim pies.
