Notes
Ensure the cookies don't touch each other and are spaced well. These oatmeal cookies don't spread so just a little spacing between cookies is sufficient.The cookies will be soft when taken out of the oven. They crisp up as they cool down.Allow the cookies to cool down completely on a rack before removing them from the baking sheet.Keep an eye while baking as the baking time may vary depending on the type and settings of the oven you use.A pinch of salt brings out the true flavour of the pumpkin cookies. So, try not to skip it.** Nutritional information provided here is estimated and for guidance only.Please refer myRecipe Disclaimerfor more details.
