My family and I have been making these cookies for years. Every single person who has ever tasted them has asked for the recipe - even people who don't like pumpkin. They're the perfect fall cookie. My husband looks forward to them every year!

The cookie sounds wonderful, but I went to the trouble of registering to THANK YOU because the frosting recipe is one my dear mother used all the time -- I've been looking for it for years!!

I used this recipe for the penuche frosting only, so I can only comment on that. It was a little more runny than what I would have liked, but I made the mistake of adding the milk along with the butter and brown sugar. So, the fault lies in my hands, but the taste was good. I used this over chocolate muffins...(sounds a bit funny, but tastes really good!) Thanks Suzanne

These are fantastic!!!! I bake cookies alot and this recipe ranks one of the very best I have tried!!! I used half butter flavored crisco and half butter. The cookies are thick and cake like. The frosting is what makes this cookie so wonderful. It tastes like a praline sort of. I think you could probably make the frosting recipe and add nuts and pour in a pan as you do fudge . Might have to try that. I will definately make again and again. Thanks Suzanne, I will be trying more of your awesome recipes!!!

These cookies are so delicious!!... To ice them I dipped them in the pan I made the icing in, face down, while they were still a little warm.. I placed them on a rack with some tin foil underneath so the icing wouldnt drip on the counter... After I iced the last cookie I started over with the first and dipped them again.. They tasted like glazed doughnuts when they were completely cooled... I added them to my Christmas goodie, and had requests for the recipe.. Im gonna try them with mashed banana next time and then maybe a mixture of pumpkin and banana.. mmmmm Kiki (Brampton,ON Canada)

Another "Cookie Wednesday" experiment. These were, by far, the best cookies I have ever made. Every single person absolutely loved them! I made this recipe 3 times in a matter of 1 week, once for my husband's work, once for my own and once for the neighbors. So far, everyone has asked for the recipe... even my bus driver who asked so he could get his mother to make him a batch *haha*

These are delicious cookies iced or not. The recipe made less than 40 cookies for me each time I made it (more like 30 - 35), but the icing was enough to frost 52 cookies. I used half unsalted butter and half shortening after the first time I made this recipe and I think it added a little more flavor. These would be good with a cream cheese icing, too. I'll probably try that next time.

This is the best pumpkin cookie recipe I've ever had. Very moist, the frosting is the finishing touch. Everyone at work and home want me to make them again. They were a huge hit. Thanks for the recipe! Marcy ;)

These are fabulous. I was a little nervous making the penuche frosting--I thought I might need a candy thermometer, but I just followed the directions and the frosting turned out perfectly. A great complement to the pumpkin cookies.
