Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your cookies the best flavor. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it in a food processor, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
