Grandma's Pumpkin Cookies Description

This pumpkin cookie recipe is Grandma’s favorite. It’s our favorite, too! Every Fall the kids look forward to Grandma’s visit with a whole container of pumpkin cookies. They go really fast in our house.

We provide the pumpkins each year. A week or two later, the kids are rewarded with this mouth-watering, seasonal goodie. It’s one of the things that makes us look forward to going  “over the river and through the woods…”

We don’t think there’s a better pumpkin cookie recipe than this one.
