PUMPKIN OATMEAL DROP COOKIES

Steps:

• To prepare fresh pumpkin for this recipe and other recipes, follow this procedure: Use one small pumpkin; wash well, and cut in half crosswise. Place halves, cut side down, in a 15 x 10 x 1 inch jellyroll pan. Bake at 325°F for 45 minutes or until fork tender; cool 10 minutes. Peel pumpkin, and discard seeds. Puree pulp in food processor, or mash thoroughly. Cover and place in refrigerator. Cooked pumpkin will keep well for four or five days.
• Combine butter and sugar, creaming thoroughly. Add pumpkin, egg, cinnamon, and nutmeg; beat mixture until light and fluffy. Add flour, salt, baking powder, and soda, mixing well. Stir in remaining ingredients.

BEST PUMPKIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Have ready some ungreased baking sheets.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and the sugars together until light and fluffy.
• Blend in pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract.
• In separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

• Drop tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges.
• Remove warm cookies and transfer to racks.
• Let cool completely for a least one half hour, then frost with glaze.
• For Glaze:.
• In a medium saucepan, heat butter and brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly. Cook, stirring constantly, for one minute or until slightly thickened. Beat in the milk. Blend in confectioner's sugar until the glaze is smooth and spreadable. Using a silicone basting brush, which I love and use religiously now, or a butter knife to spread glaze on cookies is the best tip. Please note; this glaze will harden fairly quickly. I suggest that you keep the saucepan over the stove on the lowest heat possible to prevent it from hardening.

• Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet, 2" apart. You can leave the cookies in the shape of a ball (the baked cookie will still be a ball) or flatten them out with the bottom of a glass before baking.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
