Happy October! #Pillsbury Pumpkin #Cookies

YAY! October is here!!

Time to celebrate so ..... I brought out my Pillsbury™ Shape™ Pumpkin Sugar Cookies for the kids to have fun with ....


Too bad I completely messed up pulling off the parchment paper properly and they came off the pan looking like this ... 😆


Thankfully they taste just as good no matter what they look like. **hehee**

Though this post is in NO WAY sponsored because -- hey man they are a tradition -- check out their page to get some more info!


Are you a fan of these pre-created cookies too?

My Attempt/Success with this Recipe :

Recipe/Ingredients Changes : I didn't change a thing!


My Family's Verdict :

My Thoughts : These were my first attempt in baking cookies for my daughter's school teachers ... and it worked out well that my daughter was able to help make them too. I would definitely bake/make them again. However, you really need to be a peppermint fan for you to truly enjoy this version.

My 3-year-old Daughter's Thoughts : LOVED making them as they were easy and very interactive for her age. Plus she enjoyed eating them too.

Gift Receiver's Thoughts : They raved about them! But whether that was because of the gesture in receiving them OR because they actually liked them still remain to be seen. =0)

My Attempt/Success with this Recipe :

Recipe/Ingredients Changes : It worked out very well, except all I could find at the time was crunchy almond butter.

My hubby first found this recipe in October 2013.

My Family's Verdict :

My Thoughts : We all really liked them. A little dry but tasty! However, they were VERY crumbly and I'm not sure if that was because of the crunchy almond butter OR just how the cookies are typically.

All Scooped Up & Ready to Bake :


Ready to EAT :


How Many Did It Make : In total I was able to make 22 cookies with the ingredients provided and making the cookies a little smaller then the suggested tablespoon size.


My Family's Verdict :

My Food Critic Hubby's Thoughts : Poor guy can't eat them/try them because he's on the Paleo Diet and this recipe has 2 ingredients that he's not able to eat (oats and peanut butter).

My Thoughts : Yummy and good. However, not very tasty if the chocolates aren't included (as I had a bite without some and it wasn't as good).

My 2-year-old Daughter's Thoughts : Thought they were yummy and kept asking for more!
