Glazed Pumpkin Cookies

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Take some time today to remember what you're thankful for, including some damn good food. And then think about making these :) you'll be thankful for them!

These are super simple to whip up and completely delicious- good pumpkin flavor, etc. I hope you give them a shot! This recipe is heavily based on Libby's classic recipe, but I've made a few tweaks, so here are the pictures and recipe!
