Baking Instructions

Step 2: We dropped the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet.  These cookies rise quite a bit so we pressed down the cookie dough before putting them in the oven.
Step 3: Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Here are the cookies just out of the oven.  Golden brown and delicious and chock full of pumpkin flavor.
