Wow! I have never made nor had any sort of pumpkin cookie. I bought some canned pumpkin thinking that I could use it for something this time of year and began searching for recipes. My husband and I have now fallen in love with these! The cookies are cakey and yummy on their own, but the addition of the frosting makes these to die for! My only personal issue was my frosting was a little lumpy from the powdered sugar... my own fault for not adding it while the brown sugar was still hot :-)<br/><br/>I made half the recipe to test it (still made 32 cookies for me!)... Can't wait to make a full batch soon!
