Pumpkin Cookies From Scratch

As I've mentioned in previous blog posts, I've recently broken my ribs. As a result I have picked up other hobbies to fill my time. One of which is apparently baking... not the wisest trade off - exercise for baking! 

I have been quite enamored with fall recently. Keeping with that theme, I decided to use my leftover pumpkin puree (leftover from my pumpkin pancakes!) to make pumpkin cookies. I got the recipe off of pinterest, and I must say it is not the best written recipe I've ever seen. It combines EVERYTHING in 3 steps that each have like 15 mini-steps.  I much prefer my baking steps to be broken up more. You can check it out for yourself here.

The ingredients (ignore the powder sugar... that's for the frosting not the cookies. Oops!)



Combine the dry ingredients


Then add the wet and mix! I just used a hand mixer, but boy do I want a kitchen aid mixer.



On the left are the baked cookies and on the right are the unbaked. These cookies don't spread much which is good, but they don't really come out very round so be prepared!

Next up! The cream cheese frosting, yum!


This one is pretty simple to make and it tastes SO GOOD.



I had a lot of fun making these cookies and I'm planning on having them for dessert tonight with my boyfriend for our three year anniversary!

Lots of love,
Malena
