Last Weekend


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
  • Icing:

    • 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
    • 1/4 cup butter, softened

  • 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 : )
