Soft, yummy cookie with super delicious glaze! 10 minutes bake time is plenty. Even though the dough is soft the cookies don't spread out too much. These are great!

At first I wasn't to fond of these cookies, but after adding the pumpkin glaze they were much better. I also found that I only had to cook them for 10 minutes. Made for New Kids on the Block 2009.
