CONT'D. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixer, cream the sugar and the butter until light and fluffy. Add the maple syrup and eggs. Mix to incorporate. Add the pumpkin and mix to incorporate. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and cloves. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix well. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Cool on racks. When cool, ice with the cream cheese frosting.
For the Frosting: In a mixer, add the cream cheese. Beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the powdered sugar until smooth. Add milk and vanilla. Beat until smooth. If frosting is too thick, thin with a little more milk. Fold in the lemon/orange zest. When cookies are cool spread with some of the frosting. Garnish with a whole pecan. These are also yummy, came from my sister in America so you'll have to convert where necessary. Confectioner's sugar is our icing sugar.

Boysenberry Brownie http://www.foodinaminute.co.nz/Recipes/Boysenberry-Chocolate-Brownie I made this for the family and it was a HUGE success. Everyone LOVED it. I only had 2 eggs so I substituted 1T golden syrup for the missing egg. It's the first time I've made it so not sure how much difference the golden syrup made but I can recommend the addition of it. The syrup was not that popular really though. I'm not a huge huge fan of boysenberries so next time I make this I am going to try it with raspberries I think. Or maybe dried apricots and white chocolate pieces. Mmmmmmm
