Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies with Maple Cream Frosting
Every fall I get hungry for pumpkin desserts. I have now already made these cookies 4 times in the last 2 weeks! Everyone that tries is in HEAVEN! This recipe makes a lot of cookies so its great to take to any event or just drop some off to someone special. I have always loved to drop off whatever I have been baking that day, it not only makes my day but it makes theirs! I am a maple “nut” so of course these would be my favorite pumpkin cookie. Believe me when I say you are going to want to almost drink the frosting… that GOOD!! XOXO
