Pumpkin Cookies w/Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Frosting

These are delicious little numbers that won’t be hanging around the kitchen long. Note: The Humble Goat Cheese Pumpkin Spice flavor is seasonal. I bought mine at Kowalskis (not in the grab-and-go cheese section near the butter). If you can’t find it, you could use plain goat cheese with a teaspoon of pumpkin spice seasoning.
