My husband and two kids are sure to eat the first dozen of these cookies, warm from the oven, before the next tray is even done. A co-worker gave me the recipe for the pumpkin dip, which everyone loves with the cookies. —Kelly McNeal, Derby, Kansas

I have made these cookies since the early nineties. They are always eaten by whatever crowd has access. The cookies are very spicy in a good way and the dip is a perfect foil for the cookies. Plan to make them again this year.

This is my fav "fall" cookie recipe. Everyone raves about it. Cookies are moist and the dip is awesome.

We absolutely love this recipe! It makes the house smell so good when baking! We took them to a 4-H cookie exchange and they were such a hit! Thanks!

Dip was too thin, didn't stick to the cookies

I made these for church fellowship time, and oh boy! Every single person wanted the recipe! The cookies are the perfect amount of crunchy edges /chewy centers. The dip is creamy and irresistible! I will make these every year from now on!

I made this years ago when it originally came out in the magazine and it was a big hit in my family. I was really glad to find it on the website so I didn't have to go digging through the recipe box. It's a wonderful recipe and I actually have kids who get excited about the fall season when I make this, it's kind of traditional around September and October to change up the dessert offerings. It's a great offering for fall potluck gatherings or Sunday football games, or end of season picnics-you will end up with a clean plate. They're easy to make and the ingredient list is typically on hand, but the best reason of all to make this recipe is it tastes fantastic!
