Melt-in-Your-Mouth Pumpkin Cookies

Some of the best things about fall include warm, SOFT pumpkin cookies and these cookie are our favorite ones right now. They truly are as good as they sound! After all, who likes dry and crumbly cookies? Definitely not me!
Of course a delicious cream cheese icing on top of these babies take them over the top, but I always have many of them disappear before I even get them frosted. Yep, they're that good!
If you use a butter substitute, these can also easily be made dairy free. I used a dairy free icing on some of them and they were very good.
As the weather is getting a bit cooler, it's nice to sit down with a warm drink and cookie, isn't it? Tis the season!
I really don't think you'll miss the sugar and gluten in these!

How many cookies in one batch? I plan on making them for a cookie exchange.

Posted at 10:46h, 14 NovemberI didn’t get an exact count (They kept disappearing too quickly!) but between 24-30 cookies.

Posted at 21:36h, 29 NovemberThank you so much for the recipe. It was honestly awesome! It wasn’t just delicious because it was sugar free. I also especially love the frosting recipe. I love the cookies as is but want to try making them with applesauce or zucchini puree instead of pumpkin so that I can use them for Christmas cookies. Thank you!!

Posted at 19:03h, 24 DecemberWondering how much THM super sweet blend would be used for this recipe? Any ideas?
Cindy Mullett
Posted at 10:35h, 28 DecemberI don’t really know, Dawn. I’ve never used the sweet blend. I’d say the amount of sweetener I used is comparable to sugar though. ~Cindy

Posted at 10:25h, 17 OctoberHow much baking mix would you use in place of the other flour ingredients?

Posted at 14:09h, 24 OctoberHi Linda.
I really can’t guarantee that you will get the same results and consistency by substituting with baking blend. They will turn out great if you follow the recipe as written, but switching the flours like this will really change it a lot.
