Every fall I try to make this iced pumpkin spice cookies recipe. These pumpkin cookies are so delicious, and I love their texture! Any time I give them to people, they ask for the recipe, so I thought I would share it with all of you. Seriously, they are the best!
This recipe is really easy. Just make sure you use pureed pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling. Although I think I did that once, and just left out the spices. They didn’t turn out as good, but they still worked.
I like my icing to be extra thick, but you can make it whatever consistency you want. Sometimes I even double the icing recipe if I want them to be extra sweet.
My mouth is watering just looking at these. Diet starts tomorrow, right? Hope you enjoy these iced pumpkin cookies as much as I do.
