It’s definitely pumpkin time of year.  At work a couple of weeks ago someone was talking about these amazing pumpkin cookies – ‘I ate the whole batch… one after the other’ was their comment…. these must be good I thought.   So I figured I would give them a try.    They don’t have the consistency that makes me think of cookies but more like muffin tops which certainly lends itself well to the cream cheese filling or icing if you decide to cover them with it Maggie Beauty.


When you make them you have to know that the batter does’t change much – or melt down the way that cookies do so when you put them on the baking dish so you need to shape them the way you want them to look BEFORE you bake them.  I knew this ahead of time so I decided the use my piping bag to shape them.  I had initially thought I would make an indent in the top to create a dip in the cookie for the icing but once they were baked they puffed up a little and I lost the groove for this…. alas I decided to make these more like whoopie pies Maggie Beauty
 

They really do taste more like muffins with cream cheese but this does not in any way deter one from eating them…. seriously good…. though I think next time I’ll pay more attention to the way they are shaped to leave myself a place to put the icing on top… they are a little filling Maggie beauty !
