soft pumpkin cookies with cream cheese icing
(1 rating)
I developed this recipe one Monday morning last November and served them that evening. I bake for a Hope's Table every Monday and I like offering fun and tasty goodies. For an added flair toss in some Hersheys cinnamon chips for added cinnamon flavor!
