Frosted Pumpkin Spice Cookies

October 15, 2022 by Laura Filed Under: favorite, RECIPE

FacebookTweetYummlyPin

If you follow along on this blog journey you will find that the most common thing I love to bake are cookies! Delicious little single serve handheld treats! What could be more perfect?  Frosted Pumpkin Spice cookies?? It is Pumpkin Spice season after all!!

The now Iconic fall flavor Pumpkin Spice is the rage right now! I happen to love pumpkin spice cookies, they are cakey, soft and chewy. Top them with a cream cheese frosting and its a win win in my book! Now a lot of people like to put chocolate chips in their Pumpkin Spice cookies and dont get me wrong I like them in this cookie too but the tangy sweet cream cheese frosting on these cookies is amazing.

If your short on time you can use canned frosting but that would not be my first choice. Take the time to make this delicious cream cheese frosting. It really is easy to make.

One tip is to let the cream cheese come to room temperature, it will mix so much better and the frosting will be so creamy! A sprinkle of cinnamon on top makes these cookies look so pretty!

I have more cookie and candy recipes coming up and all of these will be perfect for the holiday cookie exchanges or your holiday cookie plates that you give to your friends and family. Do you have a favorite cookie that you make every holiday? For me its not a cookie but Saltine Toffee or some call it Christmas Crack! LOL I love baking and candy making and as the holidays approach I hope you will come back for these fun and easy holiday treat recipes.
