THE BEST PUMPKIN COOKIE RECIPE EVER!

Fall is finally here in the Northeast. The days are getting shorter and the winds are getting cooler. It's a great time to indulge your sweet tooth and whip a a batch of Guilt Free Pumpkin Carob Chip Cookies. This is a natural and relatively healthy cookie recipe. Best of all, it's easy to prepare. (and they are extra yummy when paired with a skinny maple walnut cappuccino or pumpkin spice latte)

Hugo's Pumpkin Carob Chip Cookies

1/2 cup light butter
2 organic cage free eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons organic honey
1 cup pumpkin, cooked and mashed (or use canned)
2 and 1/2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 cup carob chips

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter. Add eggs and mix well. Gradually add dark brown sugar, organic honey, pumpkin, whole wheat pastry flour, salt, baking soda, skim milk, cloves. Mix well.

2. Gently fold in walnuts and carob chips.

3. Drop batter in small balls on a cookie sheet light coated with non stick vegetable oil spray. Bake in oven for 12-16 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool on wire rack. Enjoy!
