I'm sure many of you have heard of this, but I will post it anyway so you have another option besides mashed potatoes. I will post their recipe, but I honestly make it as easy as possible. I use one bag frozen cauliflower, steam it, drain, add a little bit of fat free milk, Parkay 0 calorie fat free butter spray, garlic, salt and pepper. Then I mash it until smooth. Always turns out great!

White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

A friend of mine gave me this recipe and I changed it to be a little lower in sugar. But I used real butter since we didn't have margarine. :laugh: Oh well!

2 cups flour
1 cup oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup packed Splenda brown sugar blend
1 cup Splenda
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 can pumpkin
1 cup chocolate chips (can be any flavor)
1 cup nuts/raisins (optional--didn't use these, but i heard pecans are good)

Oven temperature 350 degrees
Bake 20-25 minutes
Yields ~18 BIG cookies (use 1/4 cup scoop and spread)

Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, salt.
Cream margarine and add sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
Add dry ingredients and pumpkin gradually, alternating between the two. Mix well.
Stir in chips/nuts/raisins.

Drop 1/4 cup onto greased cookie sheet or parchment paper and spread. Bake 20-25 minutes until firm and browned.
You can use spoons to make smaller cookies.
These come out very soft and biiig!
