Pumpkin. They don't need the icing. They're AMAZING, like little pumpkin pillows.

not a cookie but I can eat my weight in peanut butter balls and divinity. I can pass on the cookies.

If you like peanut butter balls, you might like these "non-cookies". We always had them at Christmas, but I think grandma put nuts in them too:

The oatmeal makes them nutritious and destroys most of the calories from the other ingredients.

My mom made these when I was little and YUP, I love these too! lol if it involves peanut butter and chocolate - I'll try it.

Six-layer cookies

What are these?

So sorry, I just saw this. They are super easy. You literally just layer the ingredients and then bake at 350 for @ 30 minutes. I don't always measure - just sprinkle the ingredients on top of each other until it "looks right". I've been making them for so many years that I can do it with my eyes closed

1 stick butter - melted in 9 x 13 pan
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1 cup sweetened coconut
1 package chocolate chips (some people also use the butterscotch chips)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 can sweetened condensed milk

After cooled, just cut into squares. It's messy but oh so good!

and, I need these in my life.

I still can't decide so I might make a few. I found a recipe for those pecan balls that use almond flour instead and I have a lot of that, so I'm going to give those a shot.. as well as almond butter cookies and these, which I've made before, but I'll just use almond flour instead of the chopped almonds as well.

They are a New Mexico thing and holiday tradition here, so most people outside of the state have never heard of them or tried them. Also the state cookie. For whatever reason they are stupid expensive to buy at the store...there really isn't anything to them to warrant the cost, so I started making my own a few years ago and they're super easy. I'm a good cook, but I'm horrible with baking and these are the only thing I do and I've never messed them up. I use this recipe...

Ha...that's the one I came upon when I searched on what they were. They do sound very simple to do - I'll have to try them. Thanks:))
