SOFT PUMPKIN COOKIES

These Soft Pumpkin Cookies are a fall favorite around here. We just recently realized we’d never shared them with you all on Lovely Little Kitchen.

We both thought for sure they were on here somewhere… If I remember correctly, these cookies even won first place in a cookie baking contest at church years ago! They are loved by many, for sure.

These are probably the softest, fluffiest pumpkin cookies I’ve ever tasted. They are like little pumpkin-y pillows that melt in your mouth.


I think they probably do fall into the category of a more “cake-like” cookie, which I think some baker’s try to avoid, but to me they are so tender and light, the texture is just perfect. They are a cross between a cookie and the top half of a muffin.
