Pumpkin Cookie Bars

These pumpkin cookie bars are ridiculously delicious and impossible to resist! I don’t usually make pumpkin pie before Thanksgiving, but I crave it as early as Labor Day, so whipping up a batch of pumpkin cookie bars completely satisfies the craving!

The best thing about these pumpkin cookie bars (other than their supreme delectable-ness) is that they’re easy to make.

When looking for your ingredients, be sure you buy canned pure pumpkin not pumpkin pie mix! You’ll also want to use Dixie Crystals sugar, Eggland’s Best eggs and Cabot Cheese cream cheese (because quality matters).

After baking, you’ll start with one giant pumpkin cookie bar.

When it’s completely cool, you’ll spread cream cheese icing over the top of the big ol’ cookie, and cut into smaller bars before serving.

I’m totally drooling looking at these again!

Pumpkin cookie bars are my boyfriend’s all-time favorite dessert. They have the perfect pumpkin cookie to cream cheese icing ratio. I want one right now so badly, but guess who ate them all?
