Delicious Soft Pumpkin Cookies

I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving! I wanted to share this recipe with you incase you need a last minute dessert for your guests! I just whipped up a batch of these for my family... and they were a hit. Quick, easy and delicious! I made half a batch with chocolate chips... but you could add pecans or white chocolate if you'd like. They are tasty simply with the glaze on them too! Let me know your thoughts!
