These look and sound sooo good. I love icing on a cookie and pumpkin and cinnamon are such a great combination!
being anti-pumpkin as i am, i would've sailed right past this one except for the cinnamon icing. excellent touch!
Made them this morning, and added some raisins. They were a hit out on the tennis court.
Thanks Pam.
