More Cookies from the Virtual Cookie Exchange

©Dinner with Kirsten

This year it seems like the trendy flavor combination is pumpkin and chocolate. I'm seeing it everywhere! So it's no surprise that the Virtual Cookie Exchange contribution from About.com's Guide to American Food, John Mitzewich, is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. As John says, "America's favorite gourd meets America's favorite cookie." A match made in heaven, no?

Meanwhile, from Vegetarian Food Guide Jolinda Hackett comes delicious vegan oatmeal and cranberry cookies. A reviewer gave these ginger-spiced treats 5 out of 5 stars and called them "absolutely perfect." Happy baking!
