Pumpkin Cookies

Late last night, I made heavily spiced pumpkin cookies adated from Sweet Peas Kitchen. Even though I haven't been feeling the best over this weekend. I wanted to bake something because that was my original plan, before I started feeling awful. Well, here is the recipe and ENJOY!

While the cookies are cooling make frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and pumpkin pie spice and beat until smooth and creamy.

I didn't measure any of the spices. I like heavliy spices pumpkin or sweet potato anything.

It should have been blended here.

As you know, I always add my own little step to a recipe. I was got way ahead of myself. I put all the wet ingredients together and mixed. End results came out fine. So I wasn't too worried...

Mix well with a wodden spoon. *this batter is similar to the Sweet Potato Teacakes*

The dough is super sticky↑. The smell is amazing!

Sprinkled with grounded cinnamon...and you have

Beautiful results!
