| I can't believe I am submitting this. It's my secret weapon. I know it makes a bajillion cookies, but I tend to bake these as gifts. Note: these do not expand very much in the oven, so they may not look done when they are. |

I have made these cookies for every occasion since last Christmas. I'm talkin' birthdays, thank you's, holidays, you name it... and everyone loves them, not just vegans. The trick to making them super moist is to use pumpkin baby food instead of canned pumpkin. Delicious! |

I baked these cookies for Christmas and no one even knew they were vegan. Everyone ate them up. They do make a lot of cookies but there was not even one left at the end of the evening. |

This is a great recipe! Thank you so much! I'm making a batch right now for a brunch. Some friends and I are getting together to work on a monstrous monkey-skeleton for the All Souls Parade in Tucson Arizona. They'll love these cookies. |
