Add in egg yolk, vanilla and pumpkin puree and beat until combined.
Add in flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Mix until all combined.

Bake for 8-9 minutes. Cool cookies cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cooling rack. NOTE: If you decide to make the bigger cookies, you'll need to bake them for 12-13 minutes.
While cookies are cooling, make the frosting.

In stand mixer, cream butter and cream cheese for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
