Super Soft Pumpkin Cookies

We decided to make our frosting in this video, but feel free to improvise anyway that works best for you.

We used the baking accessories, parchment paper, and GoWISE USA Induction Cooktop with our 3.7-Quart Air Fryer (GW22654). The GoWISE USA Induction Cooktop is optional and only used to make the frosting, however it works fast and is perfect for melting the butter quickly.
