Okay, for all of you pumpkin lovers, here is the cookie recipe. My sister-in-law found it for me online. I think it is a Libby's recipe. (clicking on the link below will take you to many other wonderful pumpkin recipes as well! Let me know if you find something truly great!) This is only the recipe for the cookies themselves. I found a recipe for the creamcheese frosting out of one of my old cookbooks. (and when I say, old, I'm talkin' old Betty Crocker books I was given when I first got married!) Sorry, but I will have to post the frosting recipe seperately.
