I guess today was one of those days when I was craving a plate of cookies. Almost as soon as I hit publish on my previous post, I started thinking about how delicious a warm, gooey cookie would taste. I had some canned pumpkin in the fridge that needed to be used up, so I figured it was the perfect excuse to do some baking.
