I added a little extra cinnamon and added 1/4 tsp. ginger and allspice. I like more spice, but that is my personal preference. The pumpkin flavor is stronger the next day. My family loved these cake like cookies! These cookies will be in my fall baking rotation every year.

I put the icing on the flat bottom and put another cookie on top. They made great "Whoppie" Pies. There was a carpet crew in the building working , so I track them down and handed them a plate of them for there afternoon break. When I saw one of them later and asked how they were, trust me It went passes 5 star!! Sue
