Alright, so these are beautiful. I feel I start every post off with stating how good it is. Well, I guess it’s better then saying how bad it tastes!
But in all seriousness, these are honestly pillows of pumpkin fluff. (I hope that sounds appetizing). They’re even good without the frosting, and that says a lot because I’m addicted to frosting.
Plus the extra spice of the cinnamon on top really makes it even better! These are great cookies to kick off the autumn weather. Enjoy!

- 2 cups butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

Add granulated sugar, baking powder,baking soda,salt,the 1 teaspoon cinnamon,and the nutmeg. Beat until combined. Beat in the eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin.
