Easy SCD Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Vanilla Icing

by

With October coming to a close, I wanted to do one more pumpkin themed recipe before we get into the rush of the holidays, and I promise this recipe was worth the wait! 

Soft, chewy, pumpkin infused cookies with a hint of warm baking spice in the background, topped with a smooth, rich vanilla icing. Could you think of anything better for fall? 

These make great cookie sandwiches as well, just be sure to make half of the amount of icing since you won’t need as much. Don’t let pumpkin season pass you by before you try these cookies, you’ll thank me later! 

Try these cookies with my Ultimate Refined Sugar & Dairy Free Pumpkin Spice Latte for a real treat!
