[Threes.Company]

I just made (and tried) this recipe from allrecipes.com. It's for Iced Pumpkin Cookies. These are really delicious, and a nice treat for the fall! I ended up adding 1c mini chocolate chips to mine... because, cookies should always have a little chocolate. ;) I totally recommend this recipe!
