Pumpkin M&M Cookies

It's the season of pumpkins, and since Halloween is over all the Halloween candy went on sale. We picked up some discount M&Ms and I thought it was high time to make some cookies. Then I had the bright idea to put pumpkin in it.

-¾ cup butter

-1 cup brown sugar (dark), packed

-1 egg

-1 tsp vanilla

-½ cup pumpkin

-A heaping tablespoon of corn starch (for less-cakey cookies, omit this)

-¾ tsp baking soda

-1 tsp salt

-2 cup flour

-A dash of pumpkin spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves) How much you put into this is up to you, but try to keep the amount of cinnamon double the ratio of the other spices. (ex. ½ tsp cloves= 1 tsp cinnamon)

-As many m &m’s as you view to be non-Satanic (or about 1 ½ cups to  a package of them)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and sugar.

Add the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin.

Mix in your dry ingredients.

Add the M&Ms.

Drop onto cookie sheets and bake for 15-20 minutes in the oven.

Note: it took about 20 minutes to bake, but to be safe I would start at 10 minutes and work up from there. I still haven't figured out if my oven is messed up or not.
