Notes
To freeze these cookies, I recommend letting the batter come close to room temperature before baking. This way you don’t over cook the cookies. Make sure that you do not leave them in the freezer for longer than four to six months.
Refrigerator the dough overnight before baking the cookies. Just place in an airtight container.
Use fresh pumpkin rather than can. Be sure to strain the excess liquid out of the homemade pumpkin puree with a cheesecloth and squeeze it for good measure.
