This may not be the best pumpkin cookie I've ever had, but they turn out pretty good. I like this recipe because it's sooooo easy! When I don't have time (or don't feel like making a mess and using lots of ingredients), I reach for this recipe.

Ooooh, yum! I have tons of spice cake mix, so we'll have to try this out tonight for FHE!
YOU reach for this recipe or ASHLEY? When I called last night she said she was making them! But that's probably a good thing too . . . easy enough for a pre-teen to make!
You're right...Ashley made them last night! This is the perfect recipe for kids because it doesn't make a mess!
Great minds think alike. Just posted this recipe on my blog w.o seeing it here!! The icing looks yummy-haven't tried it with that.
Hey Lori, we just tried these cookies today and they're definitely easy and low-fat without the icing. I found that the icing was more of a glaze, so we added about another 1-1/2 to 2 c. of powdered sugar to thicken it up, and we really liked it that way too. Next time, I'm going to play around with it and try adding an egg and about 1/4 c. of oil to see how they turn out...just for fun!
We really liked them! This recipe will be a keeper for us!
Good idea on the frosting Kim! I'm going to try that next time too.
Hey Lori, Colby wanted to make these cookies again tonight, so I had him add 1 egg and 1/4 c. oil. They came out really moist! More fattening, but really yummy.
