Ma Newnham’s Pumpkin cookies are famous with rock-hounds and fee-diggers from Oregon to Key West – to Switzerland, and until now, the recipe has been a secret. They’re a great boost after a morning of hard rocking, and no need to feel guilty for eating more than one – nobody can resist that. Happy Rock-Hounding!!
