Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

Recipe Description

These Pumpkin Sugar Cookies are the best cookies you’ll make this Fall. You can either use fresh or canned pumpkin purée with some pumpkin pie spice for your sugar cookie base; and we like to make ours with a cinnamon and vanilla, cream cheese frosting to top the treats. Perfect with a cup of chai tea or latte for that Autumn afternoon, at home!

Yum! These pumpkin sugar cookies are simply to die for. I made them for my kids' school bake sale and they flew off the table! The combo of pumpkin and spices is a winning flavor, especially with the cream cheese frosting. Highly recommend!
