Ohhhhh, you guys. These cookies. These. Cookies. We know we mayyyy have a tendency to rant and rave about food, but these are truly amazing. They’re everything you want a fall cookie to be. They’re so very soft and a little bit chewy with just the right amount of pumpkin spice flavor. All of that topped with a maple cream cheese frosting… and it’s almost too good. As soon as the last one was gone, we wanted to make them twelve more times. What can we say? We always want them around.
These make BIG cookies; you can really only fit eight per cookie sheet. When you scoop out the dough, you want to flatten each scoop a bit with your hand, but not too much as their size helps keep them so nice and soft. It’s a sticky dough, so wetting your hand a bit helps keep the dough from sticking to it as you press them down.
It can also be hard to refrain from eating the maple cream cheese frosting right out of the bowl, but we recommend you try. Creamy, sweet, and subtly maple-y, it’s the perfect complement to this pillowy dream of a pumpkin cookie. But don’t take our word for it. Go make these. Go. Go now.
