Pumpkin Cookies for Baby

I wanted to make my baby some pumpkin cookies that were wholesome. After a quick search, I couldn't find any cookie recipes for babies so I altered the recipe I already knew worked. I made my altered version tonight and tried them. They are tasty, not very sweet, and almost a bit bland, but all baby food is somewhat bland. My baby likes them very much.
