• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 1/2 cups powdered

• 4 tablespoons milk

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix butter with brown sugar until smooth. Then, add the eggs, pumpkin puree and vanilla. After it's smooth, slowly add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking powder and soda.
