Really good, I prefer them over all of the pumpkin fall treats. Great mix of spicy and sweet. Added a little vanilla to the frosting, and left out a tiny bit of sugar. Easy and yummy! -
Very tasty... I had to make a few modifications though. Since I did not have any apple juice, I mixed 1/4 c. apple schnapps with 1/4 c. water. Weird I know, but it worked. Also, I added 1 tsp. of vanilla to the frosting. Everyone loved them :0) Thanks for the recipe. -
DH ate an entire dozen of these in one sitting and it's one of the very few recipes to which he has given five stars. It's a beautiful, yummy cookie. I think it needs a little vanilla, however, in the dough and/or frosting.
