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!
