Soft and pillowy pumpkin cake cookies are studded with mini chocolate chips and frosted with my favorite Honey Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting.
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree

- 2-1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Honey Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting I made 1/2 a batch and it was plenty, see below
- Sprinkles or other fall decorations optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper (or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
- In a medium bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Add one egg at a time, mixing thoroughly after each until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin, yogurt, and vanilla; blend well.

- Remove cookies from baking sheets to wire racks and allow to cool completely. Spread prepared frosting over each cookie and decorate as desired. Enjoy!
