Pumpkin Spice Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

Remember those delicious chocolate no-bake cookies that I shared with you? I grew up making these cookies every Sunday with my family, and have never ever ever strayed from the original recipe. That is, until now!

I decided to experiment with one of my favorite go-to holiday treats this past week by adding some organic pumpkin puree and spices and adjusting the recipe a bit.

Wow, they were amazing!!

To create my pumpkin spice chocolate no-bake cookies, I used Pacific Foods Organic Pumpkin Puree that is packaged in a Tetra Pak carton.

Why a carton?

Did you know that cartons use 1/3 of the packaging compared to cans, and are recyclable and re-closable? Tetra Pak cartons are made of 70% paper, a renewable resource, from selectively harvested, re-grown trees that are FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council), so you can feel good about your smart decision to help our planet!

Here’s the recipe for these amazing cookies… enjoy!

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate No-Bake Cookies:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup Pacific Foods Organic Pumpkin Puree
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
3 cups oats
1 tsp. vanilla

1. Stir the butter, pumpkin puree, sugar, cocoa, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a saucepan, and cook on medium heat until it comes to a rolling boil. Let boil for 3 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and add the oats and vanilla. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

3. Drop by spoonful onto waxed paper that is set on a plate (or two), and place the cookies in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to let harden slightly. Once the cookies have set, dig in! These cookies taste even better with a tall glass of milk!
