These soft pumpkin spice cookies are so moist and tender they just melt in your mouth. The warmth of pumpkin pie spice combined with brown sugar icing + pecans makes these cookies the perfect way to welcome fall. 🍁🍂

Gluten-Free Frosted Pumpkin Spice Cookies

It's officially pumpkin spice season! I love everything pumpkin flavored and these cake-like pumpkin spice cookies are at the top of my list. Soft, tender pumpkin spice cookies topped with a delicious buttery brown sugar icing. Sprinkle on some chopped walnuts or pecans for a little pop of flavor and crunch. Seriously, it's hard to keep these cookies around for long; Everyone just devours them! They are perfect to take along to any fall gathering you may have and would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving Day dessert table.

Just make a batch of these cookies and get ready for compliments. No one would ever believe that they're gluten-free. It can be our little secret. 😉

Let the baking begin!
