Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the old-fashioned rolled oats until evenly distributed in the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are set but centers look soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Beat together softened cream cheese and butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and mix well.
  11. Blend in maple syrup until the frosting is spreadable.
  12. Once cookies are cooled, frost each one with the maple frosting and serve.
