Pumpkin Softies

These pumpkin-flavored cookies have a soft, muffin top texture and plenty of pumpkin flavor. Not overly sweet, these cookies are a great mid-morning fall snack. Thanks to Nicole at Baking Bites for this great pumpkin spice ice cream topping!

This was the first time I had used an ice cream topping in cookies. I think I will try this again with chocolate. Have you used ice cream toppings for anything other than topping ice cream?
