**I used rounded tablespoons to scoop and put it onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets. I probably could have left mine in for 20 minutes, but only because I like a little crunch to my cookies and these were soft all around. They were delicious and a perfect Fall cookie, and pumpkin is high in fiber so it made me feel less guilty about the 2 5 cookies I indulged in had to taste test. I also had to put my batter in the fridge for a little while due to Abby needing me and Aidan needing a nap. They turned out pretty darn good though and I probably could eat all of them on my own.**  

My thoughts on life right now:
There used to be a time when it didn't take 4 hours to make one batch of cookies, but this time is much better because now I have a helper in my kitchen.
