- Place heaping teaspoons of batter onto lightly greased or silicon or parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 12 minutes or until firm to touch.
- After removing from the oven, let stand on baking sheets for about 10 minutes and then move cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes
Use fresh roasted pumpkin. Cut a pie pumpkin in half. Place cut side down on a foil-lined pan. Roast for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from oven and scrape out seeds. Return to oven for another 15 minutes to finish roasting. Allow to cool. Remove.
