Pumpkin Coffee Cake Cookies
Soft pumpkin cookies topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel that tastes just like a fresh slice of coffee cake.
recipesbynani.comI never used to be a huge pumpkin dessert person, but these little treats completely changed my mind. They have the most wonderful soft texture, and that spiced streusel topping on top makes every bite feel like a cozy morning treat.
The best part is that you do not need to chill your dough or use any fancy tools. Just mix everything up, top them with the crumbly mixture, and bake them until they are perfectly golden. They really do remind me of the best part of a coffee cake muffin top.
