Iced Pumpkin Cookies


       It's back to school time so that means fall is right around the corner! Well, up here in Maine that means fall is basically here....It's so cold already! (as I sit on the couch wrapped in blankets)

       Although I am not so thrilled about freezing my butt off this winter here in Orono, I have to admit I am excited about all the foods that accompany the change in seasons. One thing in particular I look forward to in the fall is pumpkin. Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin coffee.....pumpkin everything!

     These cookies are so deliciously addicting that my mom and I have made them multiple times each year ever since we first tried the recipe.



      They're pillowy soft and cakey, perfectly moist and cinnamony sweet and full of pumpkin flavor perfect for fall. Needless to say the entire batch was nearly gone after a single day..... the recipe definitely got the roommate stamp of approval :)




I follow the recipe on allrecipes except I add a little more cinnamon than they advise. I also cook them for less than 15 minutes, usually around 10 does the trick for me!


Happy Fall!
