TWO INGREDIENTS. Seriously – Is there any better recipe than that? Truth be told, I’m actually fond of in-depth recipes. Takes me right back to chemistry class in high school, following steps and taking direction (have I mentioned lately that I’m a Type-A nerd?). That said, a two-ingredient recipe is a little too intriguing to pass up.

Another truth to be told is that I didn’t actually make these myself – John and I were invited up to the mountains for a picnic with my parents last week, and mom had packed these homemade fall time treats alongside our subs, chips and water bottles. After she informed me that they were Pinterest-inspired and I took one bite of these sweet, gooey cookies, I knew they needed a feature right here on the blog.
First of all, the texture is truly delectable. “Moist” doesn’t even come close to cutting it – You literally need to keep a napkin on hand, they are so doughy (that, or be prepared to lick your fingers after every bite – not a bad deal if you ask me). If they look like raw dough on the plate below, it’s because they are about that consistency, but don’t let that scare you – These bad boys are meant to be sticky sweet. The taste is pumpkin to a “T.” One bite and you are chomping into autumnal heaven.

I served a few alongside a teacup full of just enough swigs of milk to chase the pumpkin cookies. It’s absolutely the perfect pairing.
So good in fact, that my patience for this photo shoot ran out in no time, and a bite just HAD to be had…
