I found this recipe in Reader's Digest, and the filling there was cream cheese icing. Much better, in my opinion! These cookies are crazy-good and beloved by all who try them.

The cookies are amazing, the icing ended up tasting like melted Peeps.

My husband loves these! He doesn't even need the icing...and he loves icing. I have to agree these are really tasty. I made one change and that was to use two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice and leave out the teaspoon of cinnamon. I have been making these for the past 3 years for the fall holidays and there are never any left to share with neighbors.

This isn't quite a cookie. It's a small cake drop, which is great to dip in frosting or apple butter. Just by looking at the recipe as written, I knew to not even bother with that awful sounding frosting mixture, to substitute shortening for the butter in the batter and to ABSOLUTELY increase the spices. I put in 1/2 tbsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cloves and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. They turned out awesome that way, but they still aren't cookies.

While the filling is a bit gritty, in smaller quantities you don't really notice. I like the idea of these cookies and will most likely make them again but I will be searching for and trying alternative recipes. Definately don't make my mistake and make the cookies too large; they end being a meal!

I have now made these twice for holiday events with friends/family, and they disappeared (with accolades!) both times. I didn't even bother making the filling, based on the other reviews... You can never go wrong with cream cheese frosting! Tasty and simple - A great substitute for a pumpkin roll without all the work.
