PKU Pumpkin Cookies- recipe

My family loves cookies. Sunday nights it's common to find someone in the kitchen baking a fresh batch of cookies. (Especially after a cookie fundraiser.) As a PKU'er cookies are rather high and so my sister usually only have 1 or 2 a day; but it's REALLY tempting to take another. So naturally I want to find some simple PKU cookie recipes that I can freeze and make some Sunday evening.

Today I made Pumpkin Cookies (in honor of Halloween) with my friends and I wondered: Is there a recipe for PKU Pumpkin Cookies??? So I did what any other semi-tech savvy teen in America does... I googled it. :) Here is the best recipe I could find. I'm going to have try it and take pictures.
