These cookies were AWESOME! My husband asks me over and over when I will be making them again! I used margarine as I didn't have unsalted butter but they were still great! -
These cookies were light and airy as described. They had a pretty good flavor, although my personal taste would have allowed for more pumpkin flavor.
