Pumpkins – Pumpkins – Pumpkins. Everywhere. Told you, there will be more of those orange beauties! It is Cookie Friday again and this time I made some cookies with – well guess – pumpkins!
Yeah – you can do that too. Pumpkin puree is such a versatile thing! You can put it in almost everyhting I guess.
The cookies have a crispy outside and a chewy inside – exactly how I like my cookies. They are a nice sweet treat, if you are too lazy to make a whole cake or pie with pumpkin for Thanksgiving – and still want to do something with pumpkin :P But of course good for any other day of the year.
If you save some pumpkin puree or cut a fresh pumpkin in small pieces and freeze it, you can make them for quite some time – almost until the pumpkin season starts again next year :P
Happy Cookie Friday! T.G.I.C.F.! :)

Notes

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
