Pumpkin Cookies


These pumpkin cookies are my go to recipe whenever I need cookies fast. I love their cakey, pumpkin-y goodness! They are my number one favorite cookie! The recipe is so simple and fast. No matter where I take these cookies, they are always a BIG hit. I’ve given out the recipe to so many, so why not keep passin’ it on through Flavor of the Month at Bake at 350. Enjoy!
