I can feel good about packing these in the boys bento lunches because at least I know that they have a few healthy ingredients and are home made. Truly the kids love them and always request more! Substitute the pumpkin puree for apple sauce and the pumpkin spice for cinnamon and you have a whole new cookie! Moist and flavourful these are truly delicious.
Enjoy!
