I'm not going to lie.... I want to have these pumpkin cookies with cream cheese glaze hot and ready from my oven continually. What's your favorite pumpkin recipe?
Agreed, there is always room for more pumpkin recipes :) And these do look amazing, my kind of pumpkin cookies, I'm not a fan of the puffy, cakey pumpkin cookies! Thanks for linking up with us at the Wednesday Showcase!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I like the cakey cookies - but pumpkin pie actually isn't my favorite! I wanted to have another option in my holiday baking arsenal! :)
