It’s a classic… the peanut butter cookie with the Hershey’s chocolate kiss on top. Around here we call them, Peanut Butter Blossoms, and they are one of my all time favorites. So when I saw that a good friend of mine posted this pumpkin version on her Facebook, I instantly began drooling. A pumpkin cookie with a pumpkin spice kiss on top…. YUM! My favorite part, besides the pumpkin, is the fact that they are rolled in cinnamon/sugar before baking. It almost gives it a snickerdoodle type texture, which I also happen to love, but that’s for another day! These pumpkin cookies are a great fall cookie to add to your regular rotation!
