3. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. 

4. Place tablespoon size balls of dough on baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. If you wish, you can press three pumpkin seeds onto each cookie. You could also press a hole in the top of each cookie with your finger and fill with pumpkin butter if you wish!
