Lower Pumpkin Cookies cook time to 10 seconds.

[lowercase skye]

Pumpkin Cookies are 37.5 hunger, 15 sanity, and 10 day spoil time, best cooked with 1 Pumpkin 2 Honey and 1 Twig.
Meanwhile, Taffy is 25 hunger, 15 sanity, 15 day spoil time and can be best cooked with 3 Honey and 1 Twig.

Their stats are very very similar, but Pumpkin Cookies takes a whole dang pumpkin to cook, and you'll always be losing hunger in the process since it's only as much as a pumpkin would give you when eaten on its own. It's very underwhelming for the extra effort and resources put in! However, it's been this long without any sort of buff to its stats, so I'd like to suggest that rather than touching any of that, the cook time is decreased from 40 seconds to just 10. Being able to cook things fast is a huge boon: Barnacle Nigiri manages to keep an edge over Pierogies for me due to being able to make all the ones I'll need for a fight in 1/4th the time it'd take to make that many Pierogies, for example, and I think Pumpkin Cookies cooking faster could give it an edge over taffy in the same way.

I second this. It's annoying to have a bunch of Pumpkin and then it takes forever to make extra Pumpkin Cookies.

What else am I supposed to do with them? Make like 15 Scarecrows?
