Great Pumpkin Cookies!

I just tried the recipe below and they are so yummy! I modified the recipe to make it a bit healthier. I only put in 1/4 c. of each sugar and I used whole wheat flour and added about a 1/4 c. of wheat germ. I also omitted the chocolate chips and added a little extra cinnamon. They are still delicious and I feel nutritious enough to let Kelsey eat them as well.
