The list of ingredients does not list baking soda, but the mixing directions include it so I added 1 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
The cookies came out fine but there's not much of a pumpkin flavor to them. They are sweet enough without the glaze which can put the sweetness over the top especially since you must keep the glaze on the hot side. Otherwise the glaze quickly becomes a frosting.
