Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are mildly sweet, the same way pumpkin pie is. They have about half the sugar of a regular oatmeal cookie, hence the option to add in that extra sugar. These cookies are soft and cake like. they remind me of a cross between pumpkin bread and oatmeal cookies with the unmistakable taste of pumpkin pie. I hope you enjoy these cookies, and if you try them please leave me a comment and let me know!
