Iced Pumpkin Cookies

I am a lover of all things pumpkin. How about you?  Especially when we are talking about healthy pumpkin recipes.  These Iced Pumpkin Cookies are made healthier.  You would never guess by the taste.  These remind of those sinful soft batch cookies from the grocery store. You know the kind I am talking about, right?  Back in the day, I could inhale a lot of those!!  This is my healthier, pumpkin version of those cookies.   I hope you enjoy them as well.

    1. These sound so good! It just started to cool down where I live so I'm ready for fall and all the good flavors that come with it, like pumpkin. These cookies sound perfect!
    2. These sound really good. Can you substitute almond butter for the cashew butter? I'm allergic to cashews, unfortunately. Thank you.
      1. Thank you! You can buy it at any health food store with the nut butters. You can also make it yourself. https://mywholefoodlife.com/2013/07/08/homemade-coconut-butter/
      1. Don't soak nuts when making nut butter or it will turn rancid in a few days. It probably wouldn't matter for the cookies though, since you are baking them. You can use raw or roasted nuts but I believe most of Melissa's recipes are tested with raw.
        1. I made these tonight and they are to die for! I love the icing so much, so simple and easy! I added some chopped almonds and raisins too!
    3. Can I use store bought cashew butter? I bought creamy salted cashew butter in trader joes. Ingredients are dry roasted cashews, sunflower oil, sea salt and less than 1% dry roasted almonds.
    4. Help, please! :) I have the cookies in the oven and when I went to make the icing I realized I do not have any coconut butter. What can I use as a substitution? Thank you so much! :)
      1. You can make your own coconut butter if you have coconut flakes. https://mywholefoodlife.com/2013/07/08/homemade-coconut-butter/
