Pumpkin Spice Cookies. Sprinkle the tops of the frosted cookies with pumpkin pie spice or ground nutmeg for an extra flavor boost and a special look. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugars until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. These pumpkin spice cookies are soft, chewy and perfect for fall. They're filled with flavor thanks to the pumpkin, vanilla extract, & fall spices.
Then they're rolled in cinnamon sugar for a delicious coating that'll remind you of snickerdoodles.
The use of cream of tartar in the cookie dough and the step of rolling the cookie dough in a mixture of sugar and pumpkin spice before baking makes these cookies a riff on a classic snickerdoodle cookie.
Spiced pumpkin cookies are topped with a traditional royal icing.
