Cookie Bars with Cinnamon Frosting

When you want a Fall treat that is big on flavor, make a batch of my frosted pumpkin bars.

They satisfy like a cookie, but the creamy cinnamon frosting elevates them to a new level of deliciousness. 

The cookie bar has pumpkin and cinnamon in it, and so does the frosting. 

You get the same yummy flavors in the pumpkin cookie bar base as you do in the frosting. 

The contrasting textures make each bite a treat.

If you are like me and prefer the flavor of freshly ground spices, you can grate your own whole nutmeg and cinnamon sticks. 

I’ve tried many different methods, but my favorite by far is with a ceramic grater plate. 

It is simple to use and clean up is a breeze. 

Enjoy these frosted cookie bars for holiday gatherings and anytime you’d like a treat.
