These cookies are super moist and delicious! Packed with pumpkin, these cookies are abundant with vitamin A. Whole wheat flour and oats add extra fiber, iron, and B vitamins. Unsweetened applesauce replaces oil in these cookies, cutting down on calories and fat. Great with a glass a lowfat milk, or milk alternative!
