- 3 add in the eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla; beat well.
- 4 add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly; stir in the walnuts.
- 5 drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving several inches between for expansion.
- 6 *the batter will seem extremely soft compared with most cookie doughs, but it will firm up during baking.
- 7 bake for 12 minutes; cool the cookies on the sheets for 10-12 minutes, then removed to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 8 to make the frosting: add sugar, milk, and vanilla to a bowl; set aside.
- 9 in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the butter until lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- 10 remove from the heat, add to the other ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy; cover until ready to use.
- 11 when the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of frosting on each cookie, and top with a walnut half.
- 12 let icing set before stacking the cookies or they will stick together.
