Pumpkin Ginger Cookies

This summer Lizi, The Food Nanny, came to visit and introduced me to Kamut flour – holy moly – I LOVE it!! We’ve been making recipes together and I just recently came up with this one… Pumpkin Ginger cookies with a cinnamon glaze and a fun pumpkin on top! They’re chewy, insanely good, and super easy to make!

A couple of notes about this recipe, it can be easily halved and if you’re using Kamut flour, reduce the flour by 1/4 cup per 1 cup in the recipe 🙂

That’s it! Happy Fall and happy pumpkin eating 😀
