Also, I had to laugh when my sister told me that her cookies were the best birthday cake ever. Ha ha. I know that she isn’t big on chocolate cake and even though she likes white cake, she likes a little cake with her frosting.
I too like frosting, and I like about any cake, with a lot of frosting. I’m glad that she enjoyed these Easy Frosted Pumpkin Cookies!
Well it is a new year and I decided that it is time to do a little cleaning. I got some of the outsides of my cupboards cleaned yesterday. I was thinking about painting the cupboards and then after washing them, and how much work that was, I decided that I like them the color that they are.
We have a lot of cupboards, and I do not think that I could stand having my kitchen torn apart for about 4 months. I am pretty sure that that is how long it would take to do the job right. However, it seems a little crazy that it is more expensive to have someone paint your cupboards than it is to get new cupboards.
But after cleaning them yesterday, I can see why. Well, I will just have to think about what to do. I will give it a few weeks thought, or months, or maybe years, and then I will be back in style if I just wait long enough! Happy spring cleaning you all!!!

I love pumpkin cookies!!! I’m not a big fan of birthday cake either, so I can understand why your sister totally loved these cookies instead!!
Yes, my sister loves pumpkin and was wondering about why it is not used more throughout the year instead of just in the fall, so she really was pleasantly surprised with the cookies. (The frosting was imperative).
