Pumpkin Cookies

This afternoon I made some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They're ok.... no really, just ok. :-/

I used a wheat/white flour mix, so that might be one reason they aren't awesome. I also subbed applesauce for the oil - wonder if that did something... Maybe it's also the cake-like texture. I mean, they taste great, but I just don't know if I'm a fan of the cake-cookie. I'm glad I made them tho -- at least I made use of the leftover pumpkin I had from the pumpkin fudge I made last week. Would I recommend them? Sure! But eat them hot... yeah they are pretty gross once they cool. ha.

I got the recipe from All-Recipes.com:

Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.
