LIFE’S SHORT…

EAT COOKIES!

It’s Friday and I have another FAVORITE cookie recipe for you.  This one is a little out of season, but it never fails to make everyone happy when I make these.  They do not last long.  It’s a very old recipe that I tracked down in cookbook put out by our local farmer’s market.
 
PUMPKIN SPICE COOKIES
 
Ingredients:
3 cups sugar
1 cup oil
3 cups cooked pumpkin (I used the canned pumpkin)
3 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. cloves
3 tsp. vanilla
6 cups flour, sifted
3 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. baking powder
2 cups raisins (optional)
1 cup nuts (optional)
 
Caramel Frosting:
3 Tbsp. butter
4 tsp. milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla
1-1 1/4 cups confectioner’s sugar
 
Mix sugar, oil and pumpkin.  Slowly add spices, sifted flour, soda and baking powder.  Mix thoroughly.  Fold in raisins and nuts.  Drop on greased cookie sheets and bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes.
 
Remove from oven.  Cook slightly and frost with caramel frosting.
 
To prepare frosting cook butter, milk, brown sugar and vanilla over low heat until mixture is smooth.  Remove from heat and add confectioner’s sugar.  Stir until very smooth.  Keep frosting warm and frost each tray of cookies as soon they can be handled.
 
All you have to do is taste one.  You WILL be hooked!
