I think we might be on to something here. I was telling my sister that I didn't like the cakeyness of pumpkin cookies. Cookies should be cookies, not cake. So she led me to this website- http://www.pumpkinnook.com/ that has some fun pumpkin recipes and this recipe was among them.
They are good cookies, better with cream cheese frosting, and best with sprinkles! I think that I am going to take a clue from this recipe though and try to adapt my sugar cookie recipe into a pumpkin sugar cookie recipe. This one is good though.
