Was spending a nice long weekend playing in my kitchen and this was one of the recipes I created using roasted pumpkin. They are so moist and so delicious my family couldn't even wait for them to cool completely before eating them!

    Drop by spoon fulls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8 to 11 minutes. Timing will depend on your oven. Mine took around 11 minutes to get the bottoms a nice golden brown.

    Note: You can substitute canned pumpkin. Try 1/4 cup first and add more if needed. I only had 1/2 cup left after my experiment with creating recipes using roasted pumpkin.

    Additional Note: These cookies are super moist and do not stack well. Found that out the hard way. So when storing them you will need a nice flat container and do not put one on top of the other. I don't even think using wax paper would help.
