I found a VERY SIMPLE cookie recipe this past week and then thought of the perfect thing to make them for! There is always a sign up sheet at Trevor's school to bring a healthy snack.
When I discovered "2 Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies" here , I had to try them. They are from the blog Cookies and Cups.
Of course Trevor wanted to help me! He was a bit disappointed that there was no egg to crack though since that is really all he likes to do.
AS usual, I made this recipe a bit of my own as I always seem to do. I couldn't find the spice cake mix in the store like Cookies and Cups called for. What is healthier than oatmeal and pumpkin, right? So I chose oatmeal cookie mix instead.
This recipe calls for only the cookie mix and a can of pumpkin. I added some butterscotch chips and a bit of cinnamon to mine.
Technically mine should be called 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies.
Turned out to be more of a drop cookie than the recipe picture but that is because of my oatmeal mix.
I haven't figured out how in the world to make a drop cookie (or for that matter a bar cookie) look good in a photograph! But here is what they look like.
I was very pleased with how these tasted. I did have to cook them for about 4 minutes more than the recipe called for - I think because I added the butterscotch chips. But they turned out perfect. The flavor wasn't too strong in my opinion and I'm not a huge pumpkin fan. The cinnamon might have cut down on that a little.
I'm wondering if any of the kids like pumpkin...
I hope they like their healthy snack!
