These pumpkin cookies are to die for! They are moist and fluffy and taste just like a delicious piece of pumpkin cake. The original recipe called for icing on top but I don’t think they need it at all.
I love that they stayed nice and thick when baked and didn’t flatten out. The recipe makes a pretty big batch of pumpkin cookies. I used a small cookie scoop and got 56 cookies from one batch.
I highly recommend this recipe. These cookies are so, so good and perfect for any time of the year!

- Add the eggs and vanilla, beat until combined. Beat in the pumpkin.
- Gradually beat in the flour a little at a time until it is all mixed in. The dough will be pretty thick and sticky.
