My Uncle Kim suggested pumpkin cookies with chocolate chips and a cream cheese frosting. Tonight's recipe was limited to what I had on hand, which did not include chocolate chips or
cream cheese.
But these were amazing! The butter cream went really well with them, and they tasted like mini pumpkin pies.
As you can see, I got a little happy with the tips from my Martha Stewart Cake Decorating Kit. I think this tip would be really good for cupcakes.
