If you do a google search on "pumpkin cookie recipe walnut icing" you will find many recipes including these:

would be impossible for us to know what recipe you aunt used. The onesthat I am familiar with are rather soft, bland, cake-like drop cookies likethe one in "Pumpkin Cookies III) I would just make some simple frostingfrom powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk. An alternative would becream cheese frosting.

Thanks so much!! I am going to get baking and trying a few of these recipes. These are my favorite fall cookies.
