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.
