There is almost nothing I love more than a soft pumpkin cookie with frosting served in October. I love pumpkin flavored baked goods and I especially love cookies!

These decadent soft pumpkin cookies will truly melt in your mouth. These are the BEST pumpkin cookie I have ever eaten, and the frosting on top just throws these cookies into blue ribbon category. If you love pumpkin, this is a must-try recipe.

A few years back there was a shortage of pumpkin puree at the stores, and when I went the whole shelves were completely wiped of pumpkin puree. My heart sank, and I would check back every few days to see if more was stocked on the shelves. I guess there was a bad season on pumpkins that year, and there was a shortage all around. Since then, I have always made sure to keep my pantry stocked of my beloved pumpkin puree. I am all about making decadent desserts to rich and creamy soups with my pumpkin puree.

Pumpkin is such a superfood, and I try to incorporate it into our diet. Pumpkins are loaded with antioxidants, and disease-fighting vitamins, that make adding this into your diet all year round a winner. The vibrant orange color is a dead giveaway that they are loaded with antioxidants, beta-carotene, which is so great for our bodies. It helps us have good eyesight, protects our immune system and offers a healthy glow to our skin.

The tender texture of these cookies topped with the sweet and refreshing frosting just truly takes the trophy. These soft pumpkin cookies are great to make for goodies to give out to loved ones, pack for school parties, and even treat yourself after a hard day of work!

Every time I bake these the family gobbles them right up, they are a popular cookie in our household. I hope you guys enjoy these soft pumpkin cookies as much as our family does. They are so simple to make, and they will make your home smell like the Fall season.

  • 1 Can Pumpkin Puree (a little less than two cups real puree.)

  • 2 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup

Icing

    I’m glad this link still worked! I plan to try with my gf all-purpose flour.
    I have 1 question. The instructions call for “egg” but the ingredient list doesn’t list egg. Is it just 1 egg?
