These special cookies have pumpkin in them if you can believe! You may have never thought about putting a vegetable like pumpkin in a cookie before, sure, we have pumpkin pie, but in a cookie? You wouldn't know there was pumpkin in these cookies by looking at them, maybe just a little bit, because they do have kind of a more orange colour to them. Martha from A Family Feast food blog, writes that this recipe is from her own personal recipe book, and is an old classic recipe of her mother's. The cookie dough uses pumpkin in it to make a cake like batter and the pumpkin also adds some extra moisture in the cookies to make them nice and soft.

They are almost cake like in texture, but a little denser too. These are perfect for fall time to use up some pumpkin meat if you have an abundance of pumpkins growing in your garden! You can make them after carving pumpkins for Halloween, that would be s really fun way to use up all of that pumpkin meat that would otherwise be discarded, My mom actually makes this recipe as well, and I can tell you first hand, these cookies are awesome! Their flavour is a little different, but it is the perfect flavour for fall! This recipe was shared in support of Cookies for Kid's Cancer, to raise money for research for Kids with cancer.
