I’ve got another pumpkin cookie recipe today! I love cream cheese with pumpkin so I was dying to try these and I am so glad I did. Dana said that she tried a bunch of recipes and these were her favorite and I can see why. We had new neighbors move in next door so I took a plate of these over to welcome them to the neighborhood.

So which ones will you choose to make? Are you a caramel icing or cream cheese frosting kinda gal? I couldn’t decide which one I liked better. They are equally delicious in my book. Let me know what you think. And if you can’t decide which ones to make, try both. I won’t say anything 😉
