Pumpkin cookies have always been a favorite in our household, no matter the time of year. Add on some tasty cream cheese frosting dashed with a little cinnamon and they taste de-lish! Keep scrolling to find my delicious pumpkin cookie recipe. It won’t disappoint!
These cookies would be a great way to make up if you’re having a tough time getting along with your step-kids around the holidays. Read one of my experiences on that here.
Where to Start with these
~Pumpkin Cookies~
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
First, cream the shortening and sugar together in a bowl. When that is done, add the pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla, and make sure to beat those ingredients together well.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour and the remaining ingredients: baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and ground allspice.
When this is complete, add this to the batter in the first bowl and mix all of the ingredients together well.
Preparing them for the Oven
Grease a cookie sheet and use a teaspoon to drop each cookie, making sure they are a couple inches apart. Bake each batch for 12 minutes.
The Frosting
While you’re waiting for your cookies to bake, this is a good time to make the frosting. Soften the cream cheese and butter in the microwave and combine it with powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla.
Putting it all Together
Let the cookies cool, and then you’re ready to spread the cream cheese frosting on top! You can do this gradually as you eat them and just save the frosting in a container in the fridge while you store the cookies in a container of your choice or you can choose to frost all of them after the cookies cool if you expect them to get eaten up quickly!
And now you have it, some delicious pumpkin cookies ready to put a smile on some faces!
