Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Butter Icing

From the country...

This is a Martha Stewart recipe for pumpkin cookies with a browned butter icing. The thing about Martha's recipes is:

#1- You need copious amounts of butter laying around
#2- you need to give your baking lots of undivided attention.

I did have the butter, but my attention is always divided, so I was literally icing these cookies with a crying baby girl at my feet. When my children have grown, I figure I may just be a pretty good baker. Until then it is half ass all the way. These cookies by the way are fluffy like muffin tops and the icing is a sin. Try them when you have hours to spare (all by your lonesome).
