Pumpkin Cookies

These are the perfect cake-like cookie for any fall party or festival! Everyone loves them. A few things: little t is teaspoon, big T is Tablespoon. I am not questioning your intelligence BELIEVE me! Just putting it out there for ya. I also didn't have nutmeg on hand and instead of loading up all the Applewhites for some spice I just went with Allspice-cause-well-it has nutmeg in it and it was justifiable for me and we need no more spice...or sass for the matter. No one noticed. Not even me. So there. Improv at it's finest. Take the bull by the horns once in a while! Live on the edge-but don't go overboard.
