Glazed Soft Pumpkin Cookies image

I got this recipe from the Chicago Sun Times. A couple of families were going to a corn maze and I brought these along. They were a hit! They were the perfect fall dessert. These cookies are very soft. My husband doesn't like chewy cookies but when we referred to them as little breads, he loved them.
