Fall is a great time of year. I love all the smells and the great desserts that are associated with the fall. Nothing says Fall like pumpkins and apples.
I have a very easy recipe for pumpkin cookies. All you need to make these scrumptious cookies is a package of sugar cookie mix. Then follow the direction to make the sugar cookies, not the directions for the roll out cookies unless of course you want to cut them into cute shapes and decorate. You will add to this a table spoon of your choice of either vanilla extract or almond extract, 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. Mix it in real well.
You will need to have had your oven preheated to 350 degrees. Take out a cookie sheet and spray it with some nonstick cooking spray. Drop your cookies to whatever size you want or a rounded table spoon onto the baking sheet. You can use your fork to make the marking like on peanutbutter cookies. Here is a slight twist with that. Put your fork into some granulated sugar befor making the marks for a little something special on top that won't distract from the great pumpkin cookies.
The first batch will probably have to back for about 11 minutes. Each additional batch approximately 9 minutes. Remember cookies do carryover a cooking time when taken from the oven and placed to cool.
Another nice thing to do with these cookies is to let them cool down completely and get your favorite pumpkin icecream or vanilla icecream and put a scoop onto one of the cookies then top with another cookie roll the sides in some pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon sugar mixture and place in a ziploc bag in the freezer and enjoy a nice seasonal ice cream sandwich.
