This is a must try cookie recipe!!! I made these tasty treats for dessert when we had friends over for dinner and they were a HUGE hit with everyone. The pumpkin flavor was amazing in these moist and soft cookies and the cinnamon icing made them extra special. I think I have a new favorite cookie – they are that good!

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.
