7 days of treats!

This may come as a surprise to some, but I love Halloween!
I know this might be very un-Christian of me to celebrate such a pagan holiday to the extreme, but so far I haven't been convicted. With trick-or-treating being just a week away, I decided to make the countdown with '7 days of treats' (because we won't get enough candy that night...)

Day 7:

pumpkin cookies with coffee flavored frosting:
I got this recipe from my sweetsie Biola roomie, Dana and I make it every year. I don't know if it's the soft, airy scone-like pumpkin cookie or the coffee infused frosting that got me addicted, but it happened.

Ingredients:
1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 c. pumpkin puree
2 eggs
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg

Bake at 375 for 9 minutes.

Frosting:
2 Tbsp. brewed coffee
6 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups powdered sugar
