The fall weather is making me feel like baking! And Norma (www.notnormajean.blogspot.com) just posted a fabulous pumpkin recipe on her blog which prompted me to share MY favorite pumpkin recipe. It's for pumpkin cookies. I got this recipe from a great friend! Thanks K!!! These cookies are delish with the frosting or without. Enjoy! If you try them, let me know what you think! MMMMMM!! I wish I could have some right now... of course, today is DAY ONE of Weight Watchers. I wonder how many points one cookie would be...
