Knobbly Gourd Cookies

No Baking Required (Part 2)

We found them at Target tonight.
REALLY nice flavor.  Exactly what I was hoping for.
I'll actually put some in the oven tomorrow after work. 
I think.

I love how the package says "PLEASE DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH."  As a kid I prayed my mother would serve raw cookie dough for dinner like in those old movies where orphans are being served some kind of slop.  A big slap in a bowl from a giant spoon loaded with cookie dough.

I've gone so far as purchase these overpriced things from Fresh Market:

Pumpkin Pie Sweet Treats

Been trying to track down a holiday favorite. Last year it seemed to be in every bakery section of every supermarket. Now I can't locate them anywhere. Lofthouse's Pumpkin Pie Sweet Treats.
Anyone see them around this year? They're incredible. Little soft cookies about the size of a fig newton with a strip of pumpkin pie filling down the center with a few stripes of sweet icing and little sweet crumbs sprinkled on top. I miss them.

Here's a pic from the Lofthouse site. It's the one between the yellow-frosted cookie and the pink star.
