These cookies can withstand a reduction of the amount of sugar if you wish or have the amount of butter replaced with applesauce if you wish for a more nutritious cookie. They freeze well.

Comments

not bad

i think the vanilla was missing in the ingredients , so i just added 2 teaspoons. i could only find 14oz can of pumpkin puree, so they were a bit dry. cookies are still cookies though, so thanks.
