Actually pumpkin cookie is very famous out there. One of my friends once said that it is a fall favourite cookie. But it is not in Indonesia. I never heard about it. That's why I just want to give it a try when I saw the recipe in femina website. Again, just as the story before, I had to omit the spices and substituted them for vanilla and flaxseed meal. I know people will say that it will be pretty plain without spices but my children love it that way. This cookie is soft, more like a cake than a cookie actually. But it is nice and my children like it.

160 gr pumpkin, steamed and mashed
