7. Iced Pumpkin Cookies
Because pumpkin cookies are just so good, we had to add an iced version of pumpkin cookies as well. These are a nice alternative to the chocolate chip ones for those who don’t like chocolate. These cookies are nice and fluffy as well as soft and moist. The perfect combination in one cookie. You could even add little bits and pieces of pecans or walnuts on the top to give it a nice little crunch.

8. Pumpkin Ice Cream
I always get so excited when fall comes around because the grocery stores start carrying pumpkin ice cream. There’s something about pumpkin ice cream that is so refreshing and tasty. Now you can make your own with this recipe. You don’t even need an ice cream maker for this easy 5 ingredient recipe. I don’t know about you but I’m pretty sure my freezer is going to be stocked with this pumpkin ice cream all fall long.
