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!
Did you know that here are lots of amazing food products for your holiday meals that come in a carton? Two of these foods are Pacific Foods Organic Chicken Simply Stock and Pacific Foods Organic Jellied Cranberry Sauce.

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!

How well do they stay in shape if not kept in fridge after the initial refrigeration? I was thinking of making a batch for my kid's party but don't think it can be kept in d fridge once it reaches his school.
ReplyDeleteThey do get a little mushy. If I were taking them to school, I would use the regualar chocolate no bake cookies that I posted about here:

They hold their shape much better and are better for traveling! ;) Good luck!
