- Welcome to "Death-by-Pumpkin Week" at Recipe-a-Day. What is Death-by-Pumpkin Week Well, it's The Cook and Kitchen Staff, offering you recipes featuring the sweet flesh of the all-American pumpkin . . . Till you're about ready to kill us.
- Okay, we have to admit which Death-by-Pumpkin week was one of our favorite thematic recipe productions during this same time last year. Would you dusted off and are sending your way
- Get ready for a week of pumpkin pies, breads, cakes, cookies, and surprises as we feature this bright orange vegetable which's found at the end of a trailing vine. Remember, there's a pumpkin just waiting for you to stop by and take it home tonight, at pumpkin patch near you. Or possibly perhaps more accurately, there's a can of cooked pumpkin waiting for you at your local grocer's!
- Cream together sugar and vegetable shortening in a medium-sized mixing bowl by utilizing a hand-held electric mixer.
- Add in Large eggs, vanilla, cooked pumpkin, and baking soda. Blend again to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
- Add in raisins and minced walnuts, and stir to combine.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking pwdr, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt.
- Pour pumpkin mix into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon till the cookie dough is blended thoroughly.
- Drop by the teaspoonful onto a non-greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 min in a pre-heated 375-F degree oven, till lightly brown. Remove from the cookie sheet to a wire rack to cold. Store in an airtight container for up to one week or possibly freeze in plastic bags for up to a month.
- Kitchen Staff Tips: If you'd like a little more spice to your spiced pumpkin cookies, simply prepare a cinnamon- sugar mix on a 4:1 ratio.
- Which is, 4 tsp. sugar to every 1 tsp. of cinnamon. Prior to baking, sprinkle the mix over the top of the cookies. It makes a handy cinnamon-toast sprinkle, too, if you prepare about 1/4 c. of the mix and store it in a shaker in your pantry.
