I’m back on the pumpkin train. It’s pretty much impossible not to be! It’s just SO good. Agree? Are you with me?
I could definitely eat pumpkin bread and/or muffins all day long. Like, if I had to ONLY eat pumpkin muffins for the next month, I’d be okay with that. But today, I decided to make pumpkin cookies. Not just any pumpkin cookie.
Brown sugar pumpkin cookies. Yep.
And not just any brown sugar. I use T-Sugar’s Belgian Cassonade Sugar. It’s the kind of sugar I could totally eat straight out of the bag with a spoon. (Not that I’ve ever done that).
We also need to discuss the texture of these cookies. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t like cake-y textured cookies, then these aren’t for you. I, on the other hand happen to love it. These cookies are super soft, and almost have a cake-like/muffin top like texture. I’m totally into it.
And the flavor?! Out of this world. Pumpkin spice to the max! Oh, and that glaze to top it off?
Everything.

- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Life is but a Dish
It’s by a company called T-Sugars, http://www.tsugars.com/us/stores/ Great quality, but yes you can use any brown sugar.
Cecilia
Thank you for sharing!
Where do you purchase the T sugar? Will it make that much of a difference if I just use regular sugar?
Life is but a Dish
http://www.tsugars.com/us/stores/ here is where they are located. You can use also use regular brown sugar, I just love the quality of T-Sugars!

These cookies sound great and I’m going to make them today for a Halloween party! However, You don’t say in the recipe to add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture. I’m guessing you had it after you add the egg and vanilla, ,correct?
Life is but a Dish
Ah yes! Good catch! Just updated it, sorry about that! I hope they’re a hit at the party!
