Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe Pumpkin Cookies will provide you with just one more reason to love cookies! They are perfectly soft and wet, and then covered with that frosting of sweet, rich cream cheese we all crave. It’s a cookie that everybody likes to make!
I mean, if you’re not really feeling up to the job of making a pie, if you show up with them instead, no one will complain.
Just be sure to bring a bunch along, because they’re going to go fast. How come they shouldn’t? They are cookies for pumpkins!
I also love these because they’re a great weekday after-dinner treat, but they’re also good enough that on the weekend you’d love to serve them to the company as well.
We all look forward to this time of year with the classic cake-like pumpkin cookie filled with autumn spices.
