Pumpkin season isn’t over yet!! If you are looking for a healthy treat these are quite tasty. Not only are they made with healthy ingredients but they can satisfy a craving for sweets. Cookies don’t have to be loaded with butter and sugar to taste good, and this recipe only has 1 tablespoon of butter in the whole recipe!
