There are many things to love about fall:
- Wearing cuddly sweats
- Playing in the leaves
- Drinking warm cider
- Snuggling in front of a fire
- Watching football games
And then there’s the plethora of pumpkin. Pie. Cake. And cookies.
Have I got another recipe for you.
Pumpkin cookies. They meet the baker’s trifecta: They’re freakin’ delicious. They’re easy to make. They don’t require any funky or out-of-the-ordinary ingredients. Just look.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup solid-pack pumpkin
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 stick softened butter
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs
Preheat your oven to 350°. Combine all ingredients into a large bowl, mixing on low speed until well blend. Scrape the bowl occasionally to make sure it’s mixed well. 
Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter on an ungreased cookie sheet. You’ll want your cookies about 2 inches apart so they don’t squish together.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Eat them. Love them.
My two favorite little people really loved them. Oh, and my favorite big person loved them, too. 
I love to cook, and he loves to eat 
Now on my to -do list for this weekend. Thanks!
Lori,
Hi. Since they’re so easy to make, they won’t take up too much of your time so you’ll have more time for eating them and having fun, maybe playing more music. Have a great weekend.

Aw the little people are too cute, and the cookies look so delicious! I will be sending this recipe to my mom for the holidays for sure.
Troi,
Yes, those little people are my grandchildren. They’re as sweet as they are cute, particularly when they know I’m making them something sweet. I hope your mom makes these cookies. They’re so easy and so good.
