I don’t know about you, but I’m totally the type of person that wants pumpkin everything this time of year. So I’m dying to share this pumpkin cookie recipe with you guys. They are so delish, very soft and moist with a cake like texture. The frosting is just the right added touch, not too sweet, but the right amount of cream to offset the pumpkin. They are really great anytime of year, but an essential this time of year.
