Notes
- Watch out when you are at the grocery store that you buy pure pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling.
- Make sure not to overmix the dough or your cookies will flatten out too much.
- Use a layer of parchment paper for easier clean-up instead of just greasing the pan.
- Make sure not to underbake your cookies or they will come out raw in the middle. Overbaking will result in cookies that are not soft.
