You forgot to post the oven temp!! I did 350 and they were perfect!
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, I just added. You guessed right- they are supposed to be baked at 350. Glad you liked them!
ReplyDeleteDo you know if I can roll these out and use my pumpkin cookie cutters to make cute, pumpkin shapes out of these cookies?
ReplyDelete@Karabell I don't see why you couldn't roll them out, you might need to add more flour if they're too sticky. Let me know how it goes!
ReplyDeleteHpw many does the serve?? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMakes about 36-thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat size can of pumpkin?
ReplyDeleteYou can use the regular size can (I believe it is 15 oz.) of pumpkin, but you only need 1 cup.
