It is starting to feel like fall which means it was time to bake up a batch of Iced Pumpkin Cookies.My husband and I took a drive through recently and the trees were starting to change colors! I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I love fall. I love decorating for fall, baking and enjoying the cooler weather. My favorite tree is an Aspen and they turn such a beautiful color during the fall season. Just talking about fall makes me happy. I always joke with my husband that September 1st is close enough to fall and time to start baking everything Pumpkin. Pumpkin Pie, Iced Pumpkin Cookies, Pumpkin Bread, etc. Everything Pumpkin.
