Tis' the Season...

So I made these a while ago and they were a huge hit with the Boy and the extended family, so I figured I would give them a shot again.

Glazed Pumpkin Cookies! Yum.

Genius me decided that it would be a good idea to do a double batch of these delicious pumpkin treats, not thinking of my ancient mixer and how it would react. Look at this thing, it's no Kitchenaid.



Let's just say that it wasn't pretty. ;)
