The comments I got: "Wow, I don't usually like pumpkin, but I love these cookies!" I found they needed 11 minutes in my oven to be "done" enough. I liked the cookie part very much, just not a fan of this flavor of Hershey's Kiss. I think it's too sweet/too white chocolate for me. But the combination is really good.
