Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugars. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla to butter mixture. Beat until creamy. Stir in the dry ingredients by hand just until combined. Drop on prepared cookie sheets by heaping tablespoonfuls. Butter the bottom of a drinking glass and then dip into sugar. Flatten the dough balls with the bottom of the glass until they are about 3/4 inch thick, dipping the glass in sugar as necessary to prevent sticking.
Bake in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes. Cool cookies on wire rack. While the cookies are cooling, make frosting. Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice and beat until smooth and creamy.
Once cookies have cooled completely, frost or drizzle with cream cheese frosting.
