Just last week, my friends and I decided we'd have a cookie night every Tuesday night. Which sounds awesome, right? Except Friday, my husband and I went paleo. No more chocolate. No more caramel. No more brownies. And no. more. chocolate. How do you make cookies without chocolate? I think I've only made two kinds in my whole life without chocolate: snickerdoodles (not paleo) and Christmas sugar cookies (also not paleo). So, scrambling to find a recipe that is a cookie, but also paleo, I found this by way of Pinterest: Paleo Pumpkin Cookies and created Sweet Tooth Tuesdays! So now every Tuesday, you can check back and find another paleo dessert recipe I tried that week.

The ingredient list for the Paleo Pumpkin Cookies says you can use either pumpkin, butternut squash, or sweet potatoes. Since I still have cans upon cans of pumpkin that I never used during autumn, I decided to use those.
We mixed the dry and wet ingredients separately, as instructed.

| Let's be honest, one person did more mixing than the other... |
After baking them for an eternity of 20 minutes, they came out looking like this:

| Just a darker, tastier version of the batter. |
And boom! Cookie Night was served. They tasted really good, especially to someone who hadn't had a lot of sugar over the last few days. (These cookies take 2-4 tablespoons of maple syrup, and I, of course, opted for the 4 tablespoons.) Even our dear, skeptical friend Max enjoyed them!

This recipe was certainly encouraging, and I can't wait to try what else I've picked out for my other Sweet Tooth Tuesdays!
