Well, okay... one thing about this recipe is both times I have made it, it was slightly overcooked. I think underdone would be best for this one.

Pumpkin Cookies

I was so surprised when my visiting teachers told me about this recipe. I had to repeat it back to them a couple of times because I was so shocked at the ingredients. Only 3... how cool is that? Needless to say, I have made them many times since and they are a hit! Eat 'em when they're still a little warm and they are very soft and creamy. Oops! I put cooking time as 10-12 but that was on my stone - so on a regular cookie sheet its probably 8-10.
