   Sounds yummy - will make this weekend. Do you use a pumpkin kiss?? I know they are out there but just wasn't sure. I didn't see mention of what type of kiss to use. I guess it doesn't matter!

2. S. Brionez says:

   Thanks for sharing! These were yum! There is nothing better than a soft cookie!

3. Jessica says:

   When you're measuring the flour, are you spooning it into your one cup? I always spoon my flour in. Some of the sites just dip their one cup into their flour. My one cup is different than theirs

4. Cyd says:

   Either way will work. We usually scoop the flour, tap the sides so it's all settled and fill it to the top.

6. Cyd says:

   We used regular chocolate kisses, but pumpkin kisses would be so delicious!

7. Tracy says:

   Hi there! These look great! Question: is the non sweetened pumpkin purée something I find in a can at any local store?

   Hi, could I substitute gluten free flour mix?

9. Cyd says:

   Hi Gail, we haven't tried it with gluten free flour mix. If you add it to other cookies, then it would probably work well in this recipe too.

10. Cyd says:

    You can buy it at most grocery stores! It will also work with canned pumpkin too!

11. Wendy Smith says:

    ?- The recipe says 'pumpkin pie puree', so I'm assuming it's not regular canned pumpkin, but pumpkin that's already had spices added to it????

12. Cyd says:

    Pumpkin pie puree or pure pumpkin is just that...pure pumpkin with nothing added. If you choose to use pumpkin pie mix it contains a blend of spices and sugar, so you would not need to add the cinnamon. Pumpkin pie puree is blander than pumpkin pie mix in the can. Hope this helps!

13. Wendy Smith says:

    Absolutely. All I've ever bought was canned pumpkin so I was confused... Now I know to use the regular pumpkin. Thanks!

14. lisa sobota says:

    By using the pumpkin pie can will they still taste ok i just must omit the cinnamon correct., cause i have that already on the shelf.

15. Becca says:

    Do I have to use half butter and half shortening? Couldn't I use all butter?

16. Karen N says:

    I just made these and I'm unhappy t reply that they are pretty much devoid of any flavor :( After the first 2 pans came out and I was unhappy, I added a couple tablespoons more of pumpkin and a splash of vanilla and the rest taste a little better.

17. Helen says:

    try the pumpkin spice mix instead of just cinnamon...lots of flavor .I use it in cheesecakes

18. Cyd says:

    I would also add some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Some comments have said they need a little more flavor, so you may want to add a little extra spices.

19. Bob P. says:

    These look GREAT. They resemble the Peanut Blossoms (using peanut butter). But having a peanut allergy, I was never able to sample what I made. I'm still confused with the pumpkin puree. Is pumpkin puree the same canned stuff you make pumpkin pies with (Libby's brand for example), where you add the sugars, spices, evaporated milk, etc.? I've seen the other canned pumpkin stuff that you just add to the pie shell. Thanks.

20. Cyd says:

    You can use either. It may have a little more flavor if you use the pumpkin pie canned pumpkin that has spices already added to it.

21. Colleen says:

    I agree with you. It makes me sad that they didn't taste like anything. Made them as part of my sisters bridal shower dessert table and no one even knew they had pumpkin in them. Im tweaking the recipe this week and trying again using more spices and the Lorann Pumpkin Pie Emulsion.

22. Kaitlin says:

    We are making these as teacher gifts for Thanksgiving so I wanted to make sure they turned out yummy. After reading the reviews I added the pumpkin pie spice to the ingredients while preparing and they turned out delicious. I could not stop eating them!

23. Sherry DeWeerdt says:

    These look good. Thanks for sharing!

24. amerique says:

    I made them but used pumpkin spice kisses. I had made a similar cookie earlier in the week and it came out great. I wanted to try a different recipe and used this one. Everyone hated them! They came out thick and dry. I added an 1/8tsp of ginger and 1/8tsp of ground cloves as several comments said they were lacking flavor. the taste was good, they were just too dry to enjoy. I should have just stuck to the same recipe I tried earlier :( waisted all those kisses :(

25. Lori says:

    Did anyone no mention of how many eggs to use for this recipe.

26. Momma Cyd says:

    It's one egg. Thanks for catching that. The recipe has been updated!

27. Jane Doe says:

    This recipes turned put really well for my bake sale! Didn’t have shortening but a mixture of coconut oil and butter worked well. Will make again.
