Nan's Pumpkin Cookies

Yep, another from my sister. She went to a college where one main major was naturopathic medicine and lots of people were very health-conscious and she said that everyone at school as well as the regular people at home liked these! I had never heard of the ground flax seed for egg, but I might try it some time. Since eggs are so cheap, though, I admit that it may take me a while to go look for it.

Nan's Pumpkin Cookies

Serves: How much do you like to eat? Time: Haven't tried them yet, but cookies tend to be slow.

• 1 3/4 cup pumpkin
• 1 Tblsp oil
• 1 egg or (1 Tblsp ground flax mixed with 3 tblsp water)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp total spices you would put in pumpkin pie they recommend 1/4 nutmeg & 3/4 cinnamon I use pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 3/4 cups oats
• 1/4 - 1 cup chocolate chips (depends on you)

- Mix it all together and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. =) [That's how she told me - cookies should be first four, then second four, then oats, then chips.] They will not brown and have a more cake-like quality than normal cookies do. They do look different when they are done and you test them by breaking one in half and seeing if it is cooked all the way through.
