I made these cookies for a friend's children, as they aren't allowed to eat candy or anything too unhealthy. The kids loved them and my friend approved! You can use canned cream cheese or sugar-free frosting, or make a homemade cream cheese frosting with reduced-fat cream cheese.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These yummy pumpkin cookies for Halloween are super moist and delicious. Most pumpkin cookies are very soft. Adding oatmeal to the batter gives the cookies a bit of texture. Topping with a bit of frosting and sprinkles makes them especially festive. Adults and kids will love these... a tasty fall treat.
