I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The pumpkin flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

I love the idea of these pumpkin cookie pops, but I think I would have liked them better if they were made with a different type of cookie. The pumpkin flavor was a bit too strong for me.

These cookies were a bit too soft for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were a little more crispy.

These cookies were a great way to use up some leftover pumpkin puree. They were easy to make and tasted delicious. I will definitely be making them again.

I had a hard time getting the cookies to stick to the lollipop sticks. I ended up having to use a lot of melted chocolate to hold them in place.

These pumpkin cookie pops were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They were also a little messy to eat, but that's to be expected with a lollipop.
