It’s that time of year again!  You know the time when Pumpkin Spice everything invades our lives?  Yep, it’s upon us, and it is glorious.  Fall just so happens to be my favorite season, for many reasons.  These include getting sweaters out, leaves beginning to change color, and the crisp, cooler weather. When Pumpkin Spice starts showing up, I know it’s just a matter of time…

These soft pumpkin spice cookies are destined to become one of your new favorites. The flavor is good on their own, but then adding a really decadent cream cheese frosting?  Oh mama! These are reminiscent of those soft sugar cookies you can get at the grocery store, only better.  So much better.
