Wasssssuuuuuup?
I’m sure most of you probably have your eyes peeled for a recipe after reading that post title.
Don’t worry, I promise it’s down below here. Just a couple quick things to share first.
Like today’s lunch. Another incredible wrap happened today, thanks to…
- A whole wheat, low-carb LaTortilla Factory wrap
- lots of avocado
- fresh spinach
- leftover roasted tomatoes (which I just realized I never even shared with you from Monday)
- provolone cheese
- turkey bacon
It was one of those days where it was exactly what I was looking for. Gotta love that!
I finished up the rest of my bag of baby carrots with some hummus at lunch today…good news, there was only one dud out of the seven that were left. 
Why I ever decided to leave seven baby carrots in the bag is beyond me.
Before lunch happened, I also managed to get in a solid, hour-long walk on the treadmill this morning…complete with cheesy smiling Instagram pics and all.
I had to test out my new Reebok #getafterit t-shirt that was sent to me earlier this week (thanks, guys!). I’d been eyeballing them ever since HLS when I saw a bunch of the employees wearing them, so I was pretty psyched to have my own.
In case you’re interested, they’re available for sale online for both women AND men…
- Women’s Reebok T-Shirt
- Men’s Reebok T-Shirt (which you may remember the CrossFit guys wearing at HLS?!?)
Super comfy – perfect for a workout or just lounging around the house.

Now, what I’m sure many of you are looking for…cookieeeeeeeees.
Well over a year ago, a friend of mine sent over a recipe that he found from somewhere for pumpkin cookies. I’d kept it in my email inbox all this time, and just never got around to making them until yesterday.
I know, I’m as shocked as you are.
I didn’t follow everything in the recipe, but I did use it as a great guide to create my own little variation. Rather than making the maple glaze that it called for, I decided that they’d be even better with a generous spread of my Honey Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting.
Plus a few extra sprinkles, of course.
The cookies come out super soft and are actually even more like a puffy cake than a cookie. But, you know…they were baked on a cookie sheet, so they’re still cookies in my book.
Frosted Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake Cookies
(adapted from a recipe for Pumpkin Yogurt Maple Glazed Cookies – source unknown)
Ingredients:
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (I used Chobani Vanilla Chocolate Chunk)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Honey Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting (I made 1/2 a batch and it was plenty)
- Sprinkles or other fall decorations, optional
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper (or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
In a medium bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Add one egg at a time, mixing thoroughly after each until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin, yogurt, and vanilla; blend well.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just moistened. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
Drop dough by tablespoonsfuls (or use a small cookie scoop) onto prepared baking sheets, 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 10-15 minutes of until firm to the touch.
Remove cookies from baking sheets to wire racks and allow to cool completely. Spread prepared frosting over each cookie and decorate as desired. Enjoy!

Yummo!!! I am always perplexed as to what to do about pumpkin baked goods in our house… Cody doesn’t like pumpkin (what the heck is wrong with him?!), so I’m left with it all to myself so I usually stay away from making too many unhealthy pumpkin goodies. BUT I’m thinking these cookies need to make an appearance pretty darn soon regardless. The baby will help me eat them, right?!

This is funny about the “cake cookies” because I tried to make banana cookies and they turned out more like muffins…so I called them muffin top cookies.
That frosting sounds AMAZING!

I love cookies but cake puffs seem pretty good on my books…consider them flattened cupcakes
Khushboo recently posted..Important Questions
Those look amazing, but the only thing is so many ppl I know don’t like things that are “overly sweet”. Maybe if I left off the frosting…?
Floey recently posted..The Wordless Year
These cookies look too good. I think anything with frosting is just dreamy. In fact, everything should have frosting on it! haha

They look so good! Even if they are pumpkin. Frosted cookies aren’t something you see everyday too- well over here atleast. Maybe when you open your cupcake business you can specialise in frosted cookies too
