Notes: Super easy. And this recipe is doubled, because I don't waste my time doing treats for my family that I don't double... generally speaking! I would probably add more cinnamon next time. AND I used canned pumpkin, not canned pumpkin filling. I'm wondering if that would have made them more pumpkin-y? Hmmm???
Verdict: I did not call these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies out loud with my family because I'm here to tell you NO ONE would have eaten them. So, I called them "just regular oatmeal chocolate chip cookies" and almost everyone loved them.
After his first bite, Bradley spit out his cookie. He proclaimed it "the most horrible horrible thing EVER." I said... "oh no... please don't tell Grandma Bosen... this is her recipe!" After a second he said... "well, it was just THAT cookie." And then he ate two more cookies. And asked to call Grandma and thank her for the recipe. Which he did!
This is a serving of vegetables for Bradley, right??? Woo hoo!!!! I will most definitely make these again!
Yum! I love anything with pumpkin in it. And, I wouldn't have told my family about the secret ingredient, either.
