Whole Grain Pumpkin Cookies

It’s not often that a cookie will make the cut into our family recipe book, but this recent discovery satisfies my family’s sweet tooth and almost assuages my guilt considering its’ inclusion of somewhat healthful ingredients… as far as cookies go. I know it’s not exactly pumpkin season either, but we’re sure enjoying them none the less!

Most of all, I appreciate any excuse to delight in a sweet & creamy glass of fresh raw milk!!
