During the event, I wanted to try all the pumpkin foods, so the pumpkin-shake maker made me a huge pumpkin shake, with a huge swirl of whipped cream and a generous dash of cinnamon on top. I took my first pumpkin-y sip and then realized as the cold, creamy drink hit my taste buds that I don't like the taste of pumpkins. Surely, it's just the uncooked pumpkin pie filling I don't like, I thought, as I ate a slice of pumpkin pie that I later ended up spitting out. Maybe that pumpkin pie is a little stale since I had to buy it yesterday at Sam's Club, I tried to convince myself, while I choked down a pumpkin cookie I had just baked.
I found out I'm not a huge pumpkin fan, probably because I never ate pumpkin things growing up. My earliest and one of the only memories of eating pumpkin products was eating a pumpkin seed in the first grade. I sucked off the salt and then spat it out. I guess that was a pretty indicative incident....
Anyway, if you like pumpkin, you might like these cookies. They are cakey, and I'm told, taste like pumpkin pie.

We had to continuously open the oven door to check on the cookies because the oven we used didn't have a window or a timer.The cookies looked like little piles of vomit while they cooked, but don't let that stop you.
