Pumpkin Streusel Cookies

Pumpkin Streusel Cookies | Soft pudding cookies with all that pumpkiny goodness topped with a crumb streusel! #recipe #cookies #pumpkin

Nick loves to tease me because there will be nights where at 9pm, I'm craving cookies...and I'll start baking a batch. Although it's not pumpkin season now, I definitely had to share these...and I had made them last summer when it wasn't pumpkin season then either. But a girl's gotta have her pumpkin when she wants it! Nick also claims to not be big on sweets, but this recipe really made an impression on him. He loves streusel topping (in fact, that's the only way he agrees to eat muffins) and I think that's what really did him in with this cookie recipe. He's been on the hunt since the day I made them for the pumpkin pudding. I had some stocked up in my baking cabinet and they were about to hit their "best by" date, but we haven't been able to find them since then :(
