I prefer the smaller ones so I am able to cook it over a shallow bowl of water for about 15 minutes in the microwave + then scoop it out. You can also cook them in the oven, but I prefer the quick and moist option. I'm also on the hunt of a knock off of the vosges naga cookie - they are divine... and of course not available in Germany.

I used this recipe but used curry instead of pumpkin pie spice and just used semisweet mini chocolate chips. I used about 1/2 cup of brown sugar too because I ran out of white sugar. They are amazing (of course it's no Vosges cookie) but I think they could actually be spicier. Wonderful with a cup of coffee! Nice blog btw :) I was looking for a recipe to attempt to recreate the awesomeness that is the Vosges Naga cookie.

Well, tis the time of year for pumpkin recipes and I have jumped on the bandwagon. Last year, I tried these pumpkin bars. This year, I stayed in the dessert category and followed my buttermilk love with this moist, bundt cake.

I have a more cakey version I make from something else. I think I'll try your version. I too recently baked some not-so-good pumpkin cookies, which was disappointing. Thanks!
