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 got this recipe from the time it was a prize winner, and have made it every year since. It is wonderful and I can hardly wait for fall to make it again.

These cookies are wonderful! I make them every year for the holidays and my family just adores them. It makes a large batch, which is good considering my family eats the first few batches before I can get them off of the cooling rack! Thanks for the recipe!
