We've been looking for pumpkin recipes to try that aren't the standard pie/bread/muffin variety. Grace found this great alternative to sugar cookies on allrecipes.com. We tweaked it to our tastes and used her new Ikea animal cookie cutters! You'll want your dough a bit thicker than you'd roll out standard sugar cookies.
Personally I think the cookies are good enough on their own, but grace suggested a cream cheese/allspice frosting which would probably taste great. In retrospect we could have sprinkled some raw sugar on before baking, but we'll have to try that next time...
