I absolutely love to cook with pumpkin. These cookies were introduced to me by my neighbor when I was stationed in Germany. They are so moist and easy to make!

Soft and fluffy, these pumpkin cookies taste of fall. The spices are balanced perfectly. This is a cake-like cookie that's not overly sweet. On top, is a thick glaze that's more like icing. It adds a touch of sweetness to these pumpkin cookies.
