pumpkin spice cookiez!

I  made these over the weekend, because there was stormy weather and it made me feel like it was fall. I also had a crafternoon with a friend, and wanted to bring something over to inspire. I took the cookie recipe from one website and the drizzle-icing from another, and came up with these light & addicting things: 

They're supposedly low-cal, and I hope so because I ate my fare share. Also, because I like to really taste the spice, I added way more pumpkin pie spice & also added allspice- so if you really want that kick, I would suggest doing that as well. I also didn't have chocolate chips on hand for some crazy reason, but I'm sure that would add a nice touch. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 egg white
• 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, salt and pumpkin spice; stir to blend. In another bowl, whisk the sugars, butter, egg white, pumpkin puree and vanilla together until light and fluffy.

Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a drop of water at a time (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.
Drop by level spoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto baking sheets.  

Bake 8 - 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let them stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks.
Makes 2 dozen cookies.
