Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
















I baked these omega-3 packed cookies for my study group tomorrow. I took Isa Chadra Moskowitz's Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies from her Vegan with a Vengeance cookbook.  
The changes I made cut fat and made the cookies a little more "Fall-like". Fall is in full swing here in Edmonton ( as you can see from the photo) the plus: I get in more autumnal baking!
 The Con: Summer is O-V-E-R. 
Here are the  changes that I made:
I replaced 1/3 cup of oil with apple sauce (so now it was 1/3 cup oil, 1/3 cup applesauce)
I added 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground clove, 1/2 teaspoon allspice.
I also replaced the raisins with cranberries. 
Another bit of advice about these: the flaxseed is a must!
