Besides the expected pies, pumpkin cookies are probably my favorite fall dessert. And the ones shown below are one of my old stand-bys, and a popular item for me to bring to potlucks. Recently I have had several requests for the recipe so I figured I would share it on here for all who are interested. I originally discovered the recipe in a Methodist women cookbook (treasure trove). These cookies are so simple and moist and delicious....I highly recommend giving them a try.
Mix the following ingredients in a bowl:
1 C sugar
1/2 C butter
1 C canned pumpkin
1 T. orange zest
Then add these:
2 C flour (whole wheat or all purpose)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 C raisins or chocolate chips (or more...)
Bake 8-10 minutes at 350
Enjoy with some hot cider and pumpkin spice candles for full affect.
I'm pinning this to try next week. Looks delish!

ReplyDeleteMiss you, hon. Keep up the blogging! love seeing what you're doing, learning, sharing!
I love these, so good! Thanks for posting this. :) I was out of chocolate chips (gasp!), so I substituted some oats to give it a bit more texture. Very yummy and perfect for this rainy weather... :)
