"These delicious pumpkin cookies are topped with a simple caramel icing. The icing is made with powdered sugar and a little caramel ice cream topping, but a butterscotch or similar topping could be used as well. Sprinkle the tops with a little cinnamon before the icing sets, or sprinkle with a cinnamon-sugar mixture...."
