Just made these for Halloween. Yum. A soft cake like cookie with just the right amount of pumpkin and spice. I needed to add just a little more milk to the glaze. I will put this under favorites in my cookie recipe collection for sure. Easy to make too. Thanks for sharing!

Loved these - so light an fluffy. I think next time I will add cloves for some extra kick. I didn't even use the glaze - they were tasty without!

Very easy recipe. Love the seasonal flare. Tasted like a sugar cookie with pumpkin in it (which I liked). Very fluffy. Will make each fall. So easy.
