Old fashioned pumpkin cookies? Who could go wrong these delicious and moist morsels? Whenever I make these they don’t even make it to the icing stage honestly, but I included a recipe for it down below just in case you want that extra kick of delicious flavor. I love anything baked with pumpkin. Cookies are the top favorite in my house and I can convince myself that the kids are eating their vegetables. Right? The picture is before they were baked. They were gone before I even got one let alone a picture taken. There is always next time…

Old Fashioned Pumpkin Cookie Ingredients

1/2 Teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 Teaspoon ground ginger
