These cookies are amazingly good, and healthy as well. They have the dense texture of brownies, which combines well with the chocolate flavor. The recipe is mildly complex, but not too bad.

Directions

Blend raisins, pitted dates and water until they are a paste. You may need to chop the dates before putting them in the blender.
Mix the paste with the pumpkin, vanilla, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cocoa powder.
Mix in flour, oats and chocolate chips.
Mix in baking soda using your hands in a kneading motion. Do this for about a half minute to ensure that the baking soda is well mixed.
Place blobs about the size of a tennis ball cut in half on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. You should end up with six to eight cookies.
