    Tasted great! I made them yesterday for a small group get together and everyone loved them. Next time I think I will use dark brown sugar instead of white just to add to the color a little. They are a little light looking. Also I added 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin per some of the other recommendations for a more pumpkin flavor. I still did not think they were pumpkin-y enough. Any ideas on how to get a better pumpkin flavor?

    5 stars with a tweak to the frosting recipe! Definitely agree with other reviewers - half the frosting! - you'll still have plenty. Find photos and other recipe suggestions at www.almostalwayssunnyinseattle.com

    I'm an avid baker. These cookies were OK, but lacked the flavor I was looking for. Where's the pumpkin?! The cookies were very bland, but I did like the cakey texture...that's what I wanted.
    The cream cheese frosting was pretty good. The lemon zest added gave it a nice brightness of flavor, but the frosting would've been better on a lemon cake, not pumpkin cookies. I think the lemon took even more away from what little pumpkin flavor there was.

    Yummy yummy and double yummy! Very moist and cake-like.

    Advice:

    I should have listened to the comment I saw about the frosting. You definitely can cut it in half and have plenty of frosting. I threw the majority away! Ooh, and don't go for light cream cheese, ends up too runny.

    I had no special mixer or anything and did everything by hand, so don't worry if you dont have one either, it turned out great!

    Quote from my sister in law: "These are your best cookies yet".

    Enjoy!

    Easy to make! Everyone loves them! If you double the recipe to make more cookies, you won't need to double the frosting! Still makes lots of frosting!

    I am not a baker but thought I would try them and I am so glad I did. These were AMAZING, I am not a baker so having to buy a sifter and certain spices was a bit pricey but sooooo worth it! I will make these again and again.

    I thought these cookies were very good, however I needed to bake them for 20 minutes rather than 10 minutes to get a stable cookie.

    The key to getting a sucessful cookie with this recipe is the whip the butter until VERY light before adding sugars. It took about 10 minutes in the mixer. I am not sure margerine would work very well in this recipe. It is hard to get it light enough.

    I added candied, salted, toasted pumpkin seeds to the top of the frosting. De-lish!

    Delicious cookies. Added extra cinnamon, chocolate chips and some vanilla.
    Light and cake-like.

    These cookies are not cookies. They were extremely bland and had very poor texture. The cookies did not spread while baking and laid on pan like little lumps. Tried to add more spice and sugar in second batch with no improvement to texture. I finished baking up the batter although they were only "ok" as they came out of the oven. After letting them cool, I tried to add the frosting. Still no improvement. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this recipe!
