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!

This is an S, correct?
Yes, it is!
What is the recipe for the frosting, it looks yummy.
What do you ice it with? Whipped cream?
Hi Cindy!
These look and sound delicious!
How many cookies in one batch? I plan on making them for a cookie exchange.
Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Hi, did you use a thm approved icing? If so, what is the recipe? Thank you!
Use 1/2 package of softened cream cheese, 1/4-1/2 C. powdered sweetener, pinch of salt, 1/2 t. vanilla and 3/4 C. heavy whipping cream (beaten till stiff in separate bowl.) With mixer, mix everything except the whipping cream until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream.

I didn’t get an exact count (They kept disappearing too quickly!) but between 24-30 cookies.
Thank 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!!
Thank you, Phebe! I’m glad you like them 🙂 Let me know how the applesauce/zucchini version turns out!
Wondering how much THM super sweet blend would be used for this recipe? Any ideas?
I 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
