Pumpkin cookie

After halloween,I was thinking about what should be done with the pumpkin kept outside. Last year I grated the pumpkin and made pumpkin bread which came out very good.But grating fresh pumpkin is really difficult and not an easy task. So I just googled and found out how to make pumpkin puree here.
I made some cookies with  my homemade  pumpkin puree .
I drafted this receipe longback and almost forgot to post it.Here is really easy n yummy cookie for all of you. I am sure you all will really enjoy it.
