This post is done by Cassie, who was so so nice to do a little guest post, and provided this yummy Pumpkin Spiced and Iced Cookies recipe for me while I was sick. 

So, I’m not a great cook. But I do love to bake, especially when it’s a good recipe. Since I love dessert, I’m always on the lookout for good sweets. And when there’s pumpkin involved, it’s even better. These seem to be perfect every time I make them- always soft and yummy, even if they spend just a little too much time in the oven.
