Here's the original Pin:
With this recipe I stuck pretty close to the directions. I sometimes play it fast and loose with savory meals, but with baking, if I make changes, I end up with the wrong texture or consistency. It's science, I tell ya! Like many cookie recipes you start with mixing all the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the wet ingredients in another. Then you whip the two bowls into one and fold in the cinnamon chips.
Overall I think that they're nice little cookies. They're not too sweet and a very nice firm but chewy texture. I will say though, Nugget really didn't care much for them. She kept reaching for them on the cooling rack, but would then pick them apart and feed at least half to the dog. I think she's just more of a chocolate lover!
Cost: No more than an ordinary cookie recipe. The only annoyance is I need to figure out what to do with the rest of the canned pumpkin before it goes south.
Time: Mix, mix, combine, plop, bake. At about 10 minutes per cookie sheet, the whole batch took about an hour to mix and bake. Oh, and at this small size it makes almost 80 cookies... enough to share and enough to keep at home.
Difficulty: They're really pretty simple drop cookies, no extra fancy steps.
Aesthetic Appeal: They have a little bit of a festive orange tinge to them, but they're not terribly impressive to look at... but no matter, they're tasty.
Life Enhancement: I think I would definitely bake them again in the fall or winter... maybe even add them to my list for Christmas cookies. I like making a large variety of cookie flavors for Christmas... gingerbread, peppermint, etc. It would nicely fit into the pumpkin slot.
