Don’t Starve: Pumpkin Cookie

It is that time of year again when all things pumpkin flavored are consumed. Since I’ve known my husband, he has hated all things that are pumpkin flavored. He will give them a try but the end result is the same, he is has no interest in taking another bite. That is until I made these cookies. He devoured several of these and was really sad that he had to share them at a party that evening. Several people came up to me that evening saying how they usually hate cookies but these were really delicious. When looking at the image of these cookies, I spent the most time trying to figure out what the little chunks were in the image. In the end, I decided butterscotch chips and cranberries were a good combination with the pumpkin base. Time for another delicious Don’t Starve recipe! Let’s get baking.
