Frosting:

In the bowl of a tabletop mixer fitted with a flat beater, cream together the cream cheese and butter, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beater twice, until fluffy.

Add the powdered sugar, first mixing on low speed,
then increasing the speed to high. Beat until light and fluffy, again scraping down the sides of the bowl and beater twice.

Blend in the vanilla. The icing should be smooth and spreadable. If it is too thick, add a wee bit of milk.

Spread on top of cooled pumpkin cookies. Enjoy!
