FROSTED PUMPKIN-WALNUT COOKIES
This is my adopted recipe.I have made these now and if you like pumpkin and walnuts you will like these. The original recipe didn't have any nuts in the ingredient list so I tried 1 cup and that seemed to be fine. No milk was listed so I used about 1 tablespoon in the icing. She/He also had 84 as the amount, I only got 58 cookies. Even DH, the picky one, enjoyed them.

PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (THE WORLD'S BEST!)
After getting this recipe from a friend, I have made them over 100 times for family and friends and they are always a hit, especially around Halloween and Thanksgiving! As far as the spices go, less is more; this is not a full-on pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread/cake. They're light and moist cookies with a taste of fall in every bite!

PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH FROSTING
Soft cake-like cookie with a wonderful frosting. A friend made these when my (then) toddler son came over for a playdate, and, after eating a plateful, I let him run screaming through her house while I frantically copied down the recipe. There are a few things I insist be organic, and winter squash is one of them. Organic pie pumpkins are easy to find in the Fall for cooking, mashing and storing in the freezer, but organic canned pumpkin is also now readily available. I never count cookies. Yield is a total guess.

Tips:
- Use a stand or hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, resulting in a light and airy cookie.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a fun and festive touch, decorate the cookies with Halloween-themed sprinkles or icing.
Conclusion:
These frosted jumbo pumpkin cookies are the perfect treat for Halloween or any fall gathering. They're easy to make and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So gather your ingredients and get baking!
