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.

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

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!
