Iced Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Christmas Cookie Extravaganza – 2021

Iced Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are awesome. Really! These lovely cookies combine my favorite Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe with my favorite icing recipe. The outcome is spectacular. I sprinkled a little cinnamon over top of each one. We loved, loved, loved them!

We have been busy, busy, busy making Christmas cookies since the beginning of October. My upright freezer is almost completely packed. I’ve made 11 different kinds so far with 200 being the least for any batch. Some batches had over 500 cookies! We plan to give them away or ship them to family and friends around mid-November. I try to make a variety of cookies each year so all of them aren’t chocolate. Or have too many with nuts. Or too many the same flavor or style. You get the idea.

These cookies are soft but having the icing makes them even better, in my opinion. You can never get too much sugar, right? Anyway, these Pumpkin Cookies have it all! Chocolate Chips, icing and a delicate spicy flavor that doesn’t overwhelm the cookie. They’re terrific for this year’s holiday baking if you’re still trying to decide what to make. In the blink of an eye, your whole batch will disappear. 🙂
