 Lisa (Alabama) says:
I can't make these fast enough!!! My family and co-workers LOVE them! Easy Easy Easy to make! (The first time I made these I used the cream cheese filing recipe and it was good, just too thin. The 2nd time I made them, I used a can of cream cheese frosting -Pillsbury- and everybody loved it.)

 Janice (Florida) says:
I made them for the ladies in our craft club and they all raved about them. They have a great pumpkin and spice flavor with a sweet cream cheese filling. They were so good that I made them for my son's family and they all loved them too. They are good cold, but even better if allowed to come to room temperature before serving.

 Eileen (Massachusetts) says:
These are yummy! I used a small cookie scoop which gave me a uniform size and shape and ended up with 48 cookies. I added about 1/4 teaspoon of all spice and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to the cream cheese filling because I wanted a little extra spice and it was fabulous!

I have used fresh long neck pumpkins cooked down and smashed. Use the same amount that u would a canned pumpkin and it works perfectly!

 Kathy (District of Columbia) says:
These were absolutely perfect. Not too sweet, with just enough pumpkin and spice flavor. I only got about 36 cookies (18 pies) but perhaps I was being too generous with my teaspoons.

 Jenn (Pennsylvania) says:
These are delicious and such an easy recipe! I only got 2 dozen instead of 3 but I guess I just made mine a little bigger. I'm going to make another batch of these!

Instead of the 1 cup LIBBY`S 100% Pure Pumpkin can you use a fresh from the garden growed pumpkin? If so how much would you use?
