    Wow! Thanks for the recipe. Will cook this holiday. Keep them coming.

  2. I may just have to try these. I still have a sugar pumpkin on-hand & will be looking for a couple recipes to use it on once I roast it.

  3. I really love the idea of your innovating some conventional cookie recipes. Sometimes, I have this fear of inventing my own recipe for cookies because it might not taste good or not good at all. Thanks for your ideas. I may bake and make all of these for our post midnight snack on Christmas.

  4. I love oatmeal cookies (in Australia we mostly just call them rolled oats) but either way they’re lovely to chew on. Using pumpkin in a cookie sure is unusual though. Love to try it! Thanks – Martin
