Here is a Pumpkin Cookie recipe that I’m pretty much in love with.
This delicious guy is not crispy or cake-like, but something in-between. It’s moist and soft, yet it doesn’t fall apart when you take a bite.
My kids loved this recipe and I’m betting your’s will too – and your extended family, and your neighbors and your church family. Well, just about anyone!

I am needing some more specific details about the pumpkin product that you call for in this recipe, please! Your recipe as written calls for canned pumpkin pie filling. Do you indeed use pumpkin pie filling which includes added sugar and spices in addition to the pumpkin purée? Or, do you mean just canned pumpkin purée, without those additional ingredients? And, which ever product that you do use, please also state in the recipe the required can sizes in ounces, as various sizes may be available at the store. You could also include the volume measurement that is equal to that can size, in the case that someone has a different size can on hand. Could you clarify and add this information to your posted recipe to insure that we will use the proper ingredient in the proper amount when we attempt making this recipe? This will be much appreciated!
