These "soft pumpkin cookies with royal icing drizzle" remind me of a whoopie pie. They are cake like in texture and taste like pumpkin pie. Top it with a drizzle of royal icing or a sprinkle of sugar, and you have your self a delicious festive treat. These are best eaten the day they are made and make a perfect dessert for a thanksgiving dinner. I made these this year for our family thanksgiving. The kids were particularly thrilled as they could grab it and go back to playing. I hope you enjoy these as much as we did.



TIPS AND TRICKS:

- Do not seal in an air tight container as these cookies have a lot of moisture in them from the pumpkin. You can leave these out on a plate or in a container with the lid not sealed. If your pumpkin puree has any liquid on the top, blot with a paper towel before scooping into your measuring cup.

- If topping with royal icing, this is safe out of the fridge for approximately 2 days or in the fridge for 1 week.

- If you would like them to be on the sweeter side, add a sprinkle of granular sugar to the tops of the cookies before they go into the oven.
