    Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies are perfect for cutting into your favorite shapes. The dough is tasty and very easy to work with.

    While some people are tired of pumpkin everything, I am not. I love pumpkin, so I get as much of it as I can this time of year.

    We love making cut-out cookies for the holidays, so when I found this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies I knew I had to make them.

    This recipe comes from The Pioneer Woman, but I don’t like things too spicy (even cookies) so I cut the spices down quite a bit.

    Next time I make them, and I will be making them again, I will probably only put cinnamon in them. Or, maybe cut the other spices even more.

    The dough does require about 30 minutes of refrigeration, but that’s  not too bad. It made the dough really easy to roll out and cut.

    From this recipe I got 45 pumpkins and 1 round cookie. These pumpkins are about 3 inches across and 2 inches tall.

    Some of my cookies were thicker than others. They all came out really good, and they were all relatively the same doneness. Even though some were thicker than others.

    So, if you are like me, and don’t take the time to roll all of your dough to the exact same thickness, it is no big deal!

    I decided to top these Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies with a classic cream cheese frosting. The combo of pumpkin and cream cheese is delicious!

    The frosting recipe comes from Dessert Now Dinner Later. With only 4 ingredients, I didn’t see where any change was necessary.

    The method is where I made a change. I tried to make it without softening the butter, but it just didn’t mix up like I thought it should. So, I let it get to room temperature before I proceeded.
