Directions

1. Step1
   In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt.
2. Step2
   Beat in egg until well combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with mixer. Stir in remaining flour with a spoon. Chill if necessary until easy to handle.
3. Step3
   On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out pumpkin shapes with cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Cool cookies on wire rack.
4. Step4
   Divide icing and tint with food coloring. Place some of the tinted icing in disposable decorating bags. Frost cookies with icing and decorate with piped icing. Add pepitas to garnish, if desired.
5. Step5
   Powdered Sugar Icing: In a medium bowl combine 3 cups sifted powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon corn syrup and enough milk (2 to 4 tablespoons) to make icing consistency. Tint with food coloring as desired.
