Edible Pumpkin Cookie Dough

These are the tastiest little treats! This makes a nice small batch - which is good, because I had a really hard time not just eating all of it at one time. 

I've never heat treated flour before, but have seen information about it before when looking at edible cookie dough recipes. I thought it was a great idea so gave that a try.

These have a hint of pumpkin flavor along with wonderful fall spices complemented by the dark chocolate bits studded throughout each tender little treat.
