These cookies are perfect for a harvest or Halloween party. They’re delicious, I promise the kids will scarf them up and ask for more.

One of my co-workers brought pumpkin bread into work the other day. I can’t tell you how much I love all things pumpkin!
these cookies are a little bland. They also took longer than the 8-10 minute baking time.
I suggest adding some more cinnamon, a bit of nutmeg and maybe some walnuts or craisins. And bake them for 12-14 minutes.
The texture was very nice though and not overly sweet, a good balance to the decadent cream cheese icing.
