Tip 1
Store at room temperature to keep the cookies slightly crisp on the outside. For a chewier and soft cookie, refrigerate in a resealable bag or container.

Tip 2
Sweet bite: If your kids are fans of chocolate you can omit pumpkin seeds and substitute 2 tbsp (25 mL) mini chocolate chips in these cookies.
