cookies

pumpkin cookies with maple vanilla bean glaze

November 22, 2013

Many of you know that I LOVE to blog about sweets, the funny thing is, I don’t eat them very often – at least I think I don’t. Anyway, during the holidays I tend to blog a little more about sweets than other foods I make and serve to my family. Especially the ones that make my house smell as good as these cookies do! This year I wanted to share with you a few yummy pumpkin desserts that are a real treat for everyone. I made these cookies for my kiddos preschool class Thanksgiving Feast and they were a hit. Hope you will share them with your family and friends this holiday season.

  6. Bake at 340° for 15 minutes or until tops are golden. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack and then frost with suggested Maple Vanilla Bean Glaze, recipe below.

      You can find Vanilla Bean Paste at any specialty cooking store, such as Williams Sonoma. I actually found some at Home Goods the other day for half the price.
