It doesn’t have to be fall to enjoy the deliciousness of pumpkin. These pumpkin pie cookies with cream cheese icing do not taste like anything you would eat while on a diet.
If you don’t want 3 dozen cookies, just cut the recipe in half. You can make vanilla cream cheese icing but if you want even more pumpkin flavor, add 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice when mixing your icing.
No one will ever guess that these cookies are “keto,” they will just ask for more!
