Since I am still not working (don't ask...) I find that I enjoy letting my creative side run free by trying new recipes. So I have been cooking or baking new recipes about 2-3 times a week for quite sometime. The recipes I try are generally healthy and cheap.I always choose recipes that are easy to make and sound like they will make good left overs because in our house we are short on time and cash!
I am obsessed with cookies and fall so when I saw this recipe it seemed perfect for me to try!
I made this heavenly Iced Pumpkin Cookie recipe the other day. The house was filled with the warm aroma of pumpkin pie spices all day and night. It still hung slightly in the air the following morning-- it was a nice way to stick my nose out from underneath the covers :) I thought I should share it here and encourage you all to start baking this recipe (and hope that some of you actually do it!)
As I experimented with this recipe I discovered a few things--- 1) it's good without the icing
2) this cookie is a very moist, soft, and bread like so if you want it heavier, then you should add extra flour 3) while I am not a fan of having nuts in or on my food, the pecans really add that extra something it was missing 4) the icing really doesn't need that 1 tbsp. of butter (I accidentally discovered it melted in the microwave the following day - oops!)
After making the cookies I went back and looked at the comments-- I am going to take some of the suggestions the next time I bake these (because there will be a next time)! I will substitute the 1/2 cup of white sugar for brown, add crushed pecans by folding them into the dough, and will not put them in air tight container (I read this before I placed them in one- whew!)
I hope you take chance and try this recipe--- Happy Baking!!!

I would try these just for the smell that lingers in the house - that sounds amazing... :)
I think I made these very same cookies last year and they were delicious! Well, they were great until the day after I made them and then they turned into hockey pucks. See, I'm not so good at making anything that involves the use of flour. Which basically takes baking off the table for me. But they were delicious for that first 24 hours though! :)
