After fixing Pumpkin Pancakes over the weekend, I decided we needed another pumpkin treat. Actually, the leftover pumpkin in the fridge was taunting me and I didn’t want to see it go to waste.
This recipe was rated a 5 of 5 by my children and I have to agree. The flavor and texture was light and perfect. It also used the exact amount of pumpkin that I had left from the Pumpkin Pancakes. Bonus!

We made a pumpkin cookie this past weekend… shaped them into pumpkins and decorated “faces” with chocolate chips and raisins
I feel the same way about the “leftover” pumpkin. Woohoo for finding a recipe that uses just the right amount = no waste … and looks like a really yummy cookie!
