In the throes of November and December it is easy to get caught up in a huge preparation for Holiday dinners. We think of our main course, of all of the side dishes, and pour over the small details of how to decorate the table. My family is a big lover of pumpkin, but not necessarily of pumpkin pie. However, they do love cookies, and they enjoy eating them by the handful. This holiday season, I thought up these delicious little cookies that hold all the flavor of a pumpkin dessert in cookie form. These yummy Pumpkin Pepita Cranberry Cookies are ideal for a lite dessert after a heavy meal. They almost have a cake consistency, yet are not super sweet. There is just enough dulce there to curb your sweet craving, and they add the finale to a perfect meal.
