Do you crave sweet baked pumpkin treats this time of year?I certainly do.

But this year I'm concentrating on light and healthy baking, so I can indulge a bit more without packing on the holiday pounds.

I'm having fun baking healthy low-fat pumpkin muffins and pumpkin breadsand there's a freshly baked healthy low-fat pumpkin cake cooling on the counter.

I'm still trying to decide which healthy pumpkin pie recipeto try for Thanksgiving.Do you have a favorite?

Experimenting with healthy pumpkin dessert recipes this season has been a lot of fun, but unfortunately, I'm going to run out of time, before I run out of recipes I want to try.

Here's a great collection of healthy low-fat pumpkin cookie and pumpkin bar recipes gathered from around the web (I've even calculated all the PointsPlus values).

While most are for from-scratch pumpkin cookies, I've included a few quick and easy low-fat pumpkin cookie recipes that begin with a pouch of cookie mix or cake mix for those who want to enjoy homemade cookies but are short on time. Enjoy!

10/27/15 Update: Every year around this time I get the urge to make a batch of pumpkin cookies. So, today when my friend's 8-year-old daughter came to spend a couple of hours, we took advantage of the time to bake cookies.

She opted for sugar cookies lavishly decorated with gummy body parts. I decided a batch of old-fashioned soft pumpkin cookies were more my speed.

I pulled out my old Betty Crocker's Cookbook (1978)and made a batch, adding chocolate chips to half the dough and raisins and chopped nuts to the other half. Both were delicious.
