The CAT's Opinion of DOG Cookies.... Yes, we have a bad cat - she walks all over our kitchen counters. She even walked right through the dog cookies that were waiting to go in the oven! In response to the demand: PUMPKIN COOKIES 6 cups whole wheat flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon 2 eggs 6 tablespoons olive oil (you could use canola oil, but olive oil is healthier!) 1/3 cup honey or 1/3 cup of molasses 1 14oz can pure pumpkin 1 cup warm water Mix dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix wet ingredients in another bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until it forms a dough. (NOTE - i rarely measure anything out anymore when making these, so you may have to add more flour if the dough is too sticky or more water if it seems too dry). Roll out and cut into shapes. Allow cat to walk through cookie dough.... Bake in 325 degree oven for 40 minutes. If you want hard crunchy cookies, turn the oven off after 40 minutes and leave the cookies in while the oven cools. Store in the fridge (or they will go moldy over time, but they are OK left in an open container for a couple of days). If you want softer cookies that are great for cutting up into training pieces, take out of the oven after 40 minutes and when cool, store in a Ziploc bag in the fridge. Variations: Substitute apple sauce or crushed pineapple for the pumpkin. Substitute ground ginger for the cinnamon. Halloween Pumpkin Cookies

In the end I only had 2 trick or treaters, so most of these have been polished off by the family...
