Soft Iced Pumpkin Cookies
These soft iced pumpkin cookies are soft, moist, and perfectly spiced with fall flavor!
You are going to love these soft iced pumpkin cookies! I had some extra pumpkin in the house last week and Fall baking on my mind. I did some googling, and ended up discovering these delicious pumpkin cookies.
They are soft and cake-like and perfectly spiced. They are good by themselves, but the glaze kicks them up a notch and makes them absolutely delicious.
I served these cookies to some guests and to say they were a hit would be an understatement. My little 4 year old cousin took one bite and said “When I finish this one, can I have another one??”
These cookies are perfect for this time of year. If you love the flavor of pumpkin spice, you will love them. 🙂 Give these cookies a try – they will be loved by kids and adults alike!

Wondering how many this makes as I think I have 4 dozen !
Prefect recipe !!! the cookies were so soft .. thanks !
These cookies are absolutely delicious! And I’m not much of a pumpkin fan, but I certainly loved these. Last year, around Christmas time, I was looking up different recipes for a family get together on Christmas, when I came across this. I thought they sounded really good, especially since a lot of my family loves pumpkin, so I tried these. I was testing out the recipe so I knew what I was making for them, and I also got to give out samples to my coworkers as well, and we loved them. Unfortunately, because of working and a lot of last-minute shopping, I was unable to make them for the family, but this year, I am hoping to make them for everyone cause they are awesome and I want them to experience the deliciousness. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. You have turned a pumpkin hater into a pumpkin fan. Lol 🙂
I just got my first batch out of the oven. Â They are perfection! Â Easy to make, wonderful texture and taste. Â I had pumpkin pie spice in the house, so used 1 tablespoon in place of the other spices. Â I am going to use maple syrup in the glaze. Â Â I think it will be terrific in there. Â
