Pumpkin Sugar Cookies
Big soft Pumpkin Sugar Cookies with Cream Cheese Cinnamon Icing with sprinkles. Here’s a cookie good for this time of year. This is a big soft sugar cookie and are frosted with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I’m not sure which part I like best the cookie or the frosting but together they are oh so good! See the pumpkin cupcakes in the photo? Those can be found over at The New York Melrose Family coming on Thursday.
