This pumpkin cookies recipe is grandma’s favorite. It’s our favorite, too!
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.
