Ms. Nancy's Great
Pumpkin Cookie
Ms.
Nancy is a mystery to us. First we saw a broomstick parked next to
the kitchen door, and as much as we tried to move it, it wouldn't
budge. Next, as we turned around, there was a whimsical, quizzical,
curious and just a tad unconventional incredible woman who baked us
some of the most delicious pumpkin cookies ever. She then hopped on
a broom and was gone in a flash.
Ingredients:
4
cups unsifted all-purpose flour
2 cups quick or old-fashioned oats, uncooked
1 and a half cups butter, softened
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 (16 oz.) can pumpkin
1-cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2-teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1-teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, oats, soda, cinnamon and salt;
set aside. Cream butter; gradually add sugars, beating until light
and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mix well. Alternate additions of
dry ingredients and pumpkin, mixing well after each addition. Stir
in morsels. For each cookie, drop one-quarter cup dough onto lightly
greased cookie sheet; spread into pumpkin shape using a thin metal
spatula. Add a bit more dough to form stem. Bake at 350 degrees for
20 to 25 minutes, until cookies are firm and lightly browned. Remove
from cookie sheets; cool on racks. About 36 cookies.
