Soft Pumpkin Cookies

Recipe for Pumpkin Cookies.

After getting over my pumpkin phobia, I have been trying many more pumpkin recipes in the kitchen. This one is probably one of my favourites that I’ve come up with.

I don’t usually enjoy cake-like cookies, but these are super soft and just melt in your mouth… so delicious. We brought a big container of them to a Halloween party and they were a big hit!
