Today was a cookie kinda day!
Here is my first pumpkin dessert for the season. With the exception of pumpkin pie(don't like at all), I love pumpkin desserts. Mark has been away for work and is coming home today, YAY! One of his favorite desserts is cookies. So because I am so happy he is coming home today, I made him a batch of my pumpkin cookies.
The Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter
1/2c sugar
1/2 packed brown sugar
1c pumpkin
2c flour
1 egg
1t vanilla
1t baking soda
1t baking powder
21/2t cinnamon
pinch salt
pinch nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
For the Walnut Glaze:
4T butter
1/4c packed brown sugar
1/4c milk
2c powder sugar
1/2c walnuts
In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar until well combined and a little fluffy
The add the pumpkin, eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended
In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder
cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt
Mix a little at a time into the pumpkin and combine until well mixed.
Make sure to stop a couple of times to scrape the sides of the bowl
Drop by tablespoon fulls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes @ 350.
Cookies should be light and fluffy. Put the warm cookies on a
cooling rack until completely cooled.
NOW THE GLAZE
In a sauce pan melt butter and sugar until it gets bubbly while stirring constantly.
Mix in milk then sugar 1/2c at a time stir until completely incorporated.
Add walnuts and reduce heat to the lowest simmer. Using a small spoon or knife,
spread on cookies. Must work quickly cause the glaze will solidify. If it does turn up the heat a little and it will smooth out again.
MJ Picking out his Cookie
This is what they look like once you glaze them. The
glaze is supposed to harden.
These are delicious Mama!
These came out really tasty and was easy to make
Give them a try!
