Cake-tastic Cookies
Hey guys, I had a family member do me a favor that is related to her profession and I knew she wouldn’t accept money from me to repay her for her time, so I made her some pumpkin cookies. I had seen this recipe a few times and couldn’t determine weather or not they would be good, so I tried it. They were a cake consistency and nice and fluffy when cooked. I highly recommend this recipe for some time around thanksgiving or Halloween. The recipe follows:
Hard margarine or softened butter ------------------1/2 cups
Packed brown sugar-------------------------------------1 ¼ cups
Large eggs--------------------------------------------------2
Canned pure pumpkin (no spices)--------------------1 cup
[I used one I cooked down and purred then froze]
Vanilla-------------------------------------------------------1 teaspoon
All-purpose flour------------------------------------------2 cups
Baking powder--------------------------------------------4 teaspoons
Salt-----------------------------------------------------------1/2 teaspoon
Ground cinnamon-----------------------------------------1/2 teaspoon
Ground nutmeg--------------------------------------------1/2 teaspoon
Ground cloves----------------------------------------------1/4 teaspoon
Ground ginger----------------------------------------------1/4 teaspoon
Raisins (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)----------------1 cup
Chopped walnuts(or your favorite nut)-----------------1 cup
[I didn’t include the walnuts because she has a 1-year-old son and I didn’t know if he would eat them.
Directions:
Cream margarine/butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add pumpkin and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Combine next seven ingredients in a small bowl. Add to margarine/butter mixture in two additions, mixing well after each addition until no dry flour remains.
Add raisins and nuts. Mix well. Drop using 1 ½ tablespoons for each
