Recipe #33: Iced Pumpkin Cookies

My mom went a little overboard with baking again...I thought we made way too many kinds of cookies, but these, Iced Pumpkin Cookies ended up being my favorite. For the record I was wrong, we should've doubled the recipe.

They are light with the perfect amount of pumpkin and the glaze was perfectly light and sweet. Too bad they're gone, because now I'm craving another. Make them, you won't regret it.
