Most pumpkin cookies focus on pumpkin spices and not the pumpkin itself. Pumpkin is such an underrated flavor and as much as a I like the flavors of pumpkin spices, sometimes the spices overtake the natural flavor of pumpkin. The flavor of pumpkin is earthy warm and sweet, similar to the flavors of a persimmon or sweet potato. These cookies skip the heavy pumpkin spices and just focus on the pumpkin. The addition of marshmallow fluff counteracts the cakey texture that pumpkin tends to create and create a super fudgy, chewy texture that is undeniably addictive.
