I followed the recipe exactly, adding 1 tsp of baking soda also (the ingredients didnt list this). They turned out excellent! This is a yummy and easy recipe. Great for the fall season. YUMMY!! I omit the icing...just not a fan of icing. They were perfect without icing on them.

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.
