Introduction

Surprisingly moist and a delish treat (should be treated as such). I am against a lot of artificial things so this recipe was great for using a lot of things more natural. I used all Whole Wheat flour and it was delish and the mini chips are completely optional and will change the nutritional info. Yes, real sugar has calories, but no chemicals!

Ingredients

    * 2 c. Flour
    * 2 c. Whole wheat flour
    *** If you sub all whole wheat flour, only do 3.5 c and add if needed
    * 4 tsp Baking Powder

    * 4 tbsp (1/2 stick) Butter, unsalted
    * 0.5 c. Applesauce, unsweetened
    * 2.25 c. Raw Sugar (any will work) - if using artificial (which I'm against), cut measurement down!
    * 2 Eggs (if using egg whites only, 4)
    * 15 oz. Libby's Canned Pumpkin (I used a 29 oz. can and about 2/3 of the can)

    OPTIONAL (not included in nutritional info):
    Cinnamon & Sugar to top with

    Made these with butternut squash, honey & sweetend applesauce. Then glazed them with a tiny bit of powder sugar & milk glaze. Bake them just til the outside is a bit hard but the inside is still moist. Awesome breakfast cookies! - 3/3/14
