Pumpkin Spiced and Iced Cookies

Ruth gave me this recipe. YUM!
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour.
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (you can buy this or look up the actual spices and ratios needed to mix some)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups (15 or 16 oz can) solid pack pumpkin
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (12 oz package) semi-sweet chocolate chips (I like the mini chips)
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Vanilla glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 1-1 1/2 Tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla mixed together in a small bowl

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until creamy. Beat in pumpkin, eggs and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate (and walnuts of you want them).

Drop by rounded tablespoon onto greased baking sheets.

Cook 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.

Drizzle or spread with vanilla glaze.
