    Do you love baked from scratch cookies as much as I do? Try these cinnamon pumpkin spice cookies, they are so easy to make. The name says it all. Cinnamon and Pumpkin goodness all rolled up into one cookie and a Kiss on top.

    Every year my for my daughters back to school night, the bakers get called in and we design baskets of fresh baked deliciousness for the new families and present them to them.

    The families are so excited and it is fun making things to welcome them to our school. This year I decided to make these Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Cookies since they were easy and had all the flavors of fall in them.

    We needed three dozen for the baskets and I made a few extra for our family. You can choose to add whatever flavor of kiss you like. I love the color of these but you choose your favorite.

    Drop cookies are some of my favorite to make because they are super simple and they come out the same size when you use a cookie scooper.

    Depending on the size of the scoop this batch makes between 36 and 48 cookies. I bought both Pumpkin Spice and Milk Chocolate Kisses and made some of each.

      I must be one of the few people out there that is not a fan of the taste of pumpkin (sorry) I love the smell and there are so many recipes that look stunning but I guess I need to train my tastebuds better 🙂

      I love the extra touch of sweetness that the Hershey Kiss adds to the cookies. I haven’t made drop cookies from scratch in a long time.

      What an amazing fall recipe! I used to get kisses cookies all the time from this tiny boutique style cafe in Manhattan, but they closed shop. I’d love to try these and see if they’re similar! Great recipe! 🙂

      I can seriously see myself becoming addicted to these. I’m a sucker for cinnamon in cookies – especially with a touch of chocolate! Pinning and stumbling. Following you on pinterest too!
