Pumpkin Cookies

Christmas tended to be a little too sweet around here.  We just returned home from visiting family, and I'm back to finding life sweet enough.  Here's some cookies I whipped up tonight.

Pumpkin Cookies

1/2 cup pumpkin

3 Tbsp. butter, softened

2 Tbsp. canola oil

3/4 cup pureed prunes
1/4 cup molasses

1 Tbsp. vanilla

1 egg

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cloves

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. ginger

1 tsp. baking soda

3/4 cup finely chopped pecans

3/4 cup high cacao chocolate chips

Beat all ingredients until well blended.  Stir in pecans and chocolate chips.  Scoop onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes at 400 degress.
