alpharaposa | Adventures in Cooking: Pumpkin Cookies!

In my pursuit to use up pumpkin pulp, I found a recipe for cookies and tried it out. It's a keeper without any modifications, but I'm reposting it here because the original website is one of those that's covered in ads and takes five pages of story and pictures before you get to the recipe.

Pumpkin Cookies:

2 cups butter
½ c. + 2 Tbs. honey
16 oz. can pumpkin or 2 c. pumpkin puree (squash works, too!)
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
4 c. white whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp.nutmeg
½ tsp. allspice
1 tsp. salt
2 c. chocolate chips or raisins
1 c. chopped nuts

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven to 350°
2. Cream fat and sweetener.
3. Add pumpkin, eggs and vanilla; beat well.
4. Stir together flour and next 6 dry ingredients.
5. Add to batter; mix well.
6. Stir in choc chips and nuts.
7. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
8. Bake for 15 minutes.

I halved the recipe and made a good test batch. I like these. Soft and cakey. Not a very strong flavor, but pleasant. I may have had half a dozen of them for breakfast this morning.
