| Pumpkin & Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies |
Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere.....
Thanksgiving is over (Canadian) and I ended up with a lots of PUMPKINS..... Being the frugal wannabe I am these days I decided to make some healthy cookies using pumpkin puree.
....I am always looking for healthy alternative, but since they are COOKIES.....they can't be too healthy otherwise my children will be skeptical .... So what better way to trick them then with some added CHOCOLATE chips to my version of Pumpkin Cookies.

Thanks for that Bibi. It is my turn to bring food to swimming next week and I am looking for something different to bring.
They eat pumpkin as a savoury thing here in Australia, e.g. Pumpkin soup or roast pumpkin, but there are not that many recipes that use pumpkin as a sweet.
This will be the ace up my sleeve to wow those girls!
Those look yummy and I love pumpkin spice baked goods. And icing too? Yep I will be trying this recipe very soon!
As if the combination of pumpkin + oatmeal + chocolate chips wasn't enough, you topped it with CINNAMON GLAZE? Woman you are my HERO! When do I get my tin full of these delights?
