My daughter came by today
to help me make some
cookie bars for
a youth organizations fundraiser
Soft Pumpkin Cookie Bars
recipe adapted from Libby Pumpkin Website
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
1 cup Pumpkin
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze (recipe follows)
PREHEAT oven to 350° F.
Grease baking sheets.
COMBINE flour, baking soda,

Beat sugar and butter in
large mixer bowl until well blended.
Beat in pumpkin, egg and vanilla
extract until smooth. Gradually beat

We were making them
for a fundraiser

so she
poured the batter on to a
cookie sheet
and spread it out
They were baked for 20 min
at 350
Drizzled the top
with powder sugar
and water glaze
To make cookies:
Drop by rounded
tablespoon onto prepared
baking sheets.
BAKE for 15 to 18 minutes
or until edges are firm.
Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes;
remove to wire racks
to cool completely.
Drizzle Glaze over cookies.
Drop cookies
Yum...these look good and I love soft cookies. The bars look great and I'd make those for my boys cause they eat so many cookies...I might as well just give them a big bar...or maybe a loaf pan ;) Thanks for sharing, Roberta

Yummee....I love soft cookies like that.
ReplyDeleteYou just made my mouth water! I love a soft pumpkin cookie. I haven't baked since the holidays- with Mr. S not eating sweets like he used to, I don't make anything anymore. If i did, I would eat the entire batch! Self-control is not my strong suit- LOL His dr. says he can add some more sugar (or substitute) so maybe I can adapt a few recipes using the little yellow packet...
ReplyDeletePumpkin is my all time favorite, I can't wait to try this. Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from One Crazy Cookie, I'm a new follower :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use pumpkin--and a fun, different cookie too!
