The weather here turned a little chilly this week and it got me in the mood for something pumpkin. Really anything would do but these soft pumpkin cookies really caught my attention.
These amazing cookies are delicious! You will not believe how soft and moist they are. So much so that they stick together if you stack them up. The original recipe called for a simple glaze icing but once I tasted them, I think they don’t even need the glaze. I like the flavor of the pumpkin to be the shining star.
