They are soft, chewy and delicious. Perfect for fall parties or after school treats. Come on  in and I’ll share this recipe with you…

These pumpkin cookies were a big hit at one of our church functions. By the next morning, I had recipe requests rolling in. That’s always a good sign. I made them as one of my recipe reviews, but as usual,  I changed a couple of ingredients from the magazine.

I love cookies with homemade icing. Other cookies just can’t compete with these made with love cookies. 

The cookie batter is moist and thick, much like cake batter. 

The result is a soft-centered cookie that is oh so good.
