My favorite season is fall and when I think of fall, I think of pumpkin! These iced pumpkin cookies are so good! I got the recipes from allrecipes.com (original recipe here) and based on the reviews, I didn't have to change anything. These cookies are soft and have a cake-like texture, and they are absolutely delicious. I shared these cookies at work and everyone loved them. One coworker told me they taste just like Starbuck's pumpkin scones, but I haven't tried those. However maybe I should make pumpkin scones next? Enjoy!
