I've had an urge to bake something for a few days now, but certainly nothing too ambitious. Fitting the bill, a little too perfectly was this super simple pumpkin cookie recipe, found at Dana's blog, Life In Abundance.

The only thing I changed was adding a bit of pumpkin pie spice. They are tasty, in that I like anything pumpkin. But they really do have the texture of box cake mix.. and that doesn't say "cookie" to me. Connor really enjoyed making them though.. and Alex and Dylan keep grabbing one from the kitchen counter. So I'm sure we'll make this again on a weekend when the kids are wanting to bake.

Another easy cookie recipe was just posted on The Pioneer Woman Cooks this morning. I'll be buying the ingredients tomorrow for sure. The peanut butter cup ones particularly ... I can almost taste them. Yummm.

Speaking of ambitious cooking.. I'm making this tonight. I think. I sort of feel like ordering Chinese instead, and saving this for Saturday evening. If you click that link, stick around Deb's blog and savor the recipes and especially the pictures. Smitten Kitchen is probably the most inspiring food blog I've come across so far.
