These are so yummy, and perfect for this harvest season! I thought I'd share the recipe with you!
Now let me explain a bit. they are called rock cakes for 2 reasons. one they look like rocks, and two they are the consistency of a cake. Light, moist and pumpkinie! Some might call them cookies but to me they are far from cookie in texture, maybe in size but that is it:O)
all right here you go.

Just for the cuteness factor..... the kids on a Wednesday night a few weeks ago ready to go to Awana at our church! I can't believe Leah is a Cubbie and Gabe is in Sparks now. My how they grow!

I was wondering why they were called rocks! They sound delicious--I love pumpkin baked goods, especially this time of year.
