These were really good. They were good even without the frosting. I would defiantly make these ones again. Thanks

So sickeningly sweet! The pumpkin cookies are bearable without the icing. I didn't have confectioner's sugar, so I made them last night without. After buying the sugar and making the icing today, it's too much. Because of the pumpkin, the cookies are sticky and gooey too.
