Pumpkin Stuffed Cookies

I'm sorry.  I needed to bring the pumpkin back one last time.  And this might arguably be the best pumpkin recipe that I have ever created.

(Sorry for the lack of a picture...I accidentally ate them all before I remembered to take one.)

The cookie is actually a take off of my recipe for Dark Brown Sugar Cookies.  And it is stuffed with a mixture of pumpkin, sugar, and spices.  Yum.  Stuffed cookies.  The possibilities are ENDLESS.

How about a peppermint cream stuffed cookie for the wintertime?  I think yes.

Here's how to make these delicious little cookies!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup regular oats
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 7 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 tablespoons pureed pumpkin
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons skim milk

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
• Combine ingredients 1-7 in a medium sized bowl.
• Combine ingredients 8-12 in a small bowl.
• Spray a mini cupcake pan with oil.
• Press some of the oat mixture into the bottom of 8 of the grooves in the pan firmly.
• Drop some of the pumpkin mixture into the middle of each of the cookies.
• Add the milk to the oat mixture left over in the bowl.
• Press the oat mixtures into 8 thin, flat pieces and place over each of the cookies.  Secure them firmly.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes.

There you have it everybody!  Enjoy!
