oatmeal pumpkin bites

Just in time for Thanksgiving!

I was going for cookies but I think what came out was a mix between cookies and bread, pretty yummy non the less. I hope you like them. I'm thinking about entering the recipe into Betty Crocker's Cookie Mix Context.

Ingredients:

1 pouch of Betty Crocker's Oatmeal Cookie mix
1/2 stick of butter, soften not melted
1 egg
1 cup of canned pumpkin
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans
1 cup of cinnamon graham crackers, or vanilla wafers, or whatever cookie wafer you might have at hand, finely crumbled.

Set the oven at 375°F.

In a medium size bowl mix the oatmeal cookie mix, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, butter and egg.

In a different bowl, mix the cookie crumbs and pecans. Add a pinch of pumpking pie spice if desired. I did and it gave them a little extra.

Scoop about 1 inch size balls and roll them in the cookie pecan mix until well covered. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Bake for about 8 1/2 minutes or until you see the light golden edges begin to show.

leave on the cookie sheet for about 1 minute and then transfer to a cookie sheet to cool off completely......

..nah! you don't have to wait that long to enjoy this bites. They're actually pretty good while warm.

Mh...you want one now, don't you?!   Go make some and come back tand tell me how they turned out!
