Last Weekend I was in a cooking mood...specifically a pumpkin cookin' mood. I have discovered that pumpkin makes EVERYTHING better
While I was doing this, Nathan was doing this....
Fantasy Football. Enough said.
Recipe for Pumpkin Iced Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup cooked, pureed pumpkin (fresh or canned)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups unbleached allpurpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

- I left out the raisins and the nuts and if anyone from NLR is reading this blog..I did not use rum in the icing : )
