Making Christmas cookies with pumpkin.

I steam my pumpkin on the top of the stove, but you can cook it either way. I have never tried pumpkin cookies, but would love to have the recipe. I've been trying to find me some more cooking pumpkins so I can bake some more pumpkin pies for Christmas. The ones I cooked for Thanksgiving was delicious. I baked one and gave it to my sister in law and she bought one from the supermarket that was supposed to be home made(they use canned pumpkin, she said they tried the one she bought then tried mine and mine was better. Her store bought one wasn't finished. I can taste the pumpkin now. I wish I had bought more pumpkins and saved some for Christmas. Your grandson will have a blast making faces on them. I do make changes if something interesting comes along like your pumpkin cookies. cool idea.

That sounds wonderful and very festive. I would definitely make changes to my plans for dinner if something nice like that came up.

Well, I have never tasted such a sweet thing. We do not make such stuff, but I would like to taste such stuff one day.

I have never used pumpkin to make cookies, but I can say that Oatmeal Raisin cookies are delicious with pumpkin pie spice in them. If you want to try it, substitute nutmeg with the pumpkin pie spice. I tend to put in a little bit more than what the amount that it says for nutmeg as I love the taste.

sound really good. Id love to have the recipe. I have 3 big cans of pumpkin here. Need to use them.

i love cinnamon on anything and i love ginger flavored cookies. i still remember your pumpkin discussion and i'm convinced you're a whiz in the kitchen. you're so creative!

Hi marguicha,Sure I do.Sometimes I just simply throw things together too.For instance I take several of what ever I have left over and mix it in eggs and make an omelet.Like mushrooms,chicken,ham,beef.....anything else that sounds good with eggs and cheese.

Yes, i do & it usually concerns what i know my kids like & what they don't. Of course if the grands say they want a certain thing they usually get it.

I do often revise my use of something I have just cooked for the first time. For your pumpkin you might want to do a smoothie, I'm sure you can find a recipe on the Internet. I also love pumpkin soup.

I Am always making changes and experiencing in cooking when I make pumpkin soup I usually use a bit of cinnamon in it I usually bake the pumpkin pieces with onion, garlic and cinnamon and then add all that to a home made chicken stock I also like my pumpkin scones with cinnamon...lovely any time.

I have made pumpkin cake/bread but never cookies. It does sound delicious and it s amazing what a little touch of cinnamon and nutmeg can do to add flavour when baking

That sounds yummy. I will have to try that one time. I like pumpkin alot. I have tried many variances in my one oatmeal cookie recipe. Sometimes they turn out good, other times so-so. I did not like the additional of strawberry applesauce this time which I tried again. I added peanut butter to it and it did not taste like peanut butter and jelly like I had wanted, LOL. Your grandson will have a blast making the faces on the cookies with the frosting. Awe.

That is quite new to me the pumpkin cookies. I also bake cookies but I never bake yet pumpkin cookies. I will make changes if unexpected comes along if there is really a need. However, all ingredients must be prepared oe else it would be difficult to make changes. have a nice day!
