As I have a box full of pureed pumpkin, I am trying out various recipes with it. I prepared these cookies for my hubby. As Valentine’s Day is nearing, I shaped them into little hearts decorated with pumpkin seeds. I actually over baked the cookies. So the colour of the cookies has become slightly brown. If you are trying these cookies then remove it once the base changes colour. These cookies have a crispy crust and a soft interior. Be careful with the baking time. Otherwise the cookies will turn hard. I am talking from experience. The first batch I prepared came out so nice. But I thought of making the cookies crisp. So I over baked the next batch. They came out somewhat hard. Any how my hubby liked it, so I am happy.

Ingredients:
Flour-250gm
Sugar-125gm

Pumpkin Seeds-1tbs
Procedure:
- Powder sugar in a mixer.
- Add flour, sugar, baking powder and mix well.
