Make up a batch of these Frosted Pumpkin Cookies and deliver them to friends and family with the Thanksgiving Tags!
Pumpkin Cookies
The pumpkin fun continues today with this Frosted Pumpkin Cookie recipe. This is another tried and true, oldie but goodie that I’ve been making for yeeaaaaaars. And bonus- hold tight for a cute Thanksgiving printable below. The cookies are actually good on their own without the frosting but it gives it a little sweet kick.
Pumpkin Spice Cookies
What goes perfectly with pumpkin? Cinnamon and spices of course! It’s like the two go hand in hand and are rarely without each other. That’s true for these cookies too. You’ll love the cinnamon that’s in the cookie recipe as well as the touch in the frosting.

To add a little something for the Thanksgiving, I created a printable to attach to a plate to drop off to some friends:
One of my favorite things to do is make treats for other people and drop them off just because. Treats, cellophane, baker’s twine and printable tags = happiness. Download a sheet of printables and deliver some happiness to the people you are grateful for.
So neat, plan on using it this Thanksgiving. Thanks!
