This is certainly a different way for me to make oatmeal cookies, what with the pumpkin, orange & prunes ~ Different & oh so tasty! Loved the final product & will definitely be making them again! And, as many smoothies as we consume, I'm intrigued with Toni in Colorado's using a couple in her smoothies! Many thanks for sharing the recipe!

Wonderfully different oatmeal cookies! Made as directed except that I substituted goji berries soaked in a little rum for the prunes. Thanks, Stingo! Made for June 2010 Veggie Recipe Swap. -
I'll try one more time (3rd time). I made these awhile back and thought they are a good cookie. I make a smoothie each a.m. and add 2 of these cookies. I also freeze the batch and just take one or two out of the freezer to have as a snack. Thanks for the recipe, Stingo.
