I have yet to find one person who doesn't fall in love with these cookies! The cooked brown sugar frosting is the perfect topping for a pumpkin cookie. I usually double the recipe because they go so fast and everyone wants them! These have been passed down in our family and are easy yet delectable. Hope you all enjoy them.
