Pumpkin Spice Cookies

I feel like I’m swimming in pumpkin these days. It’s everryyyyy where!! Pumpkin Coffee, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Shampoo… yes I’m serious. I’m having so much fun experimenting in the kitchen finding so many ways I can use this little orange squash.

My mom used to tell me a story when I was little about how my grandma was the Pumpkin Queen. No joke. So I think it runs in the family. The pumpkin is in my blood!! I’m the #QueenOfTheOranges, she was #QueenOfThePumpkins… what can I say?

I know the whole Pumpkin Spice thing can be a little overrated, but pay attention to this recipe because trust me, you’re going to love it and are going to be thanking me later!

These are probably the best pumpkin cookies I’ve ever made and I made about 300 of them in the caf and the students all agree, so perk your ears and listen well!

These little suckers are so soft and they stay soft!! They are topped with Brown Butter Frosting, which is the perfect glaze that takes these cookies over the edge. It’s the perfect treat to bring to your next football party!
