My family has a few classic recipes that are always a hit but the one for pumpkin cookies is an all time favorite. I've tried to make them myself but they never turn out the same in my gas oven as they do in my parent's electric one, so they always make me a batch and send them to me. But only once a year and only in October. It's a tradition that all my friends and co-workers look forward to with child-like anticipation. They are really that good and that well known. If you decide to make these cookies, and I highly recommend that you do, you might want to consider making two batches. They are not only delicious but also highly addictive and you definitely won't be able to eat just one!Pumpkin Cookies
