Spiced Pumpkin Cookies
"These gluten-free pumpkin cookies are pleasantly spiced. Everyone will enjoy the soft, perfectly moist, and cake-like texture of this easy pumpkin recipe. These are probably the softest, fluffiest pumpkin cookies you’ll ever taste. They are like little pumpkin pillows that melt in your mouth and urge you to take another bite. You can enjoy these cookies all year round. While commonly viewed as a vegetable, pumpkin is actually a fruit. That said, it’s nutritionally more similar to vegetables than fruit. Aside from high Vitamin A content, pumpkins contain antioxidants that may reduce chronic diseases."
