Great cookies! I took the advice of others here and added cinnamon to the frosting and doubled it. Really good.

I switch out the vanilla in the frosting with maple flavor instead and everyone loved them.

When pressed for time, I use a box of pumpkin bread, make it according to box directions and stiffen a bit with flour. Cream cheese frosting is awesome on this!

The pumpkin fanatics in my house raved about these cookies. My daughter compared them to pumpkin gobs (and I must say, this recipe is WAY easier to make). I didn't have quite enough frosting (one poor cookie remained naked). Next time, I'll double the frosting recipe and perhaps add some cinnamon.

Excellent cookies! I think sha26 must have forgotten an ingredient because they are so delicious! I didn't make the frosting because they are so yummy without, they didn't even need it. Will make again for sure!

Made this recipe twice, first time using fresh pumpkin and second time using Butternut Squash. Also added cinnamon chips. Took them to work, they were a big hit. Will definitely make again, the frosting is awesome.Loon55

Made these cookies with our Hospitality class at school. They were a hit with students and staff. Soft, tender little cake-like cookies. They are excellent! We sold them by the dozens!

I made these cookies for a tea party and they were HORRIBLE! I was very disappointed because a lot of ingredients got wasted. I wound up not making the frosting because the cookies tasted so bad and threw them out and made a different recipe. Is there an ingredient missing? Very bad cookies..

Very good cookies, but the frosting recipe doesn't make enough to frost the cookies as much as is shown in the picture, but they don't need much, anyway. I can't eat pecans, so I eliminated them. Next time I will add more spices and maybe add some cinnamon or nutmeg to the frosting. Maple would also be good in the frosting.
