It's a must to make a batch of these delightful cookies every fall. First off, the house smells terrific, it makes a ton, they freeze well, and everyone loves them.
But of course, the best part is the taste. Anything with brown butter is a treat! The cookies are soft, very moist, and have a pleasant pumpkin flavor with a hint of cinnamon. Top it off with the frosting, and you have one great cookie!
Happy Halloween!
