Pumpkin Cookies

Here is the recipe I used to make the pumpkin cookies on day 9.  The ice cream I stuffed them with is store bought: Turkey Hill Pumpkin Pie.  It's my favorite ice cream this time of year and is seriously delicious!  

My sister-in-law's recipe:

In large mixing bowl, cream 1 C soft butter, 1/2 C sugar, and 1/2 C brown sugar.
Add 1 egg and 1 t vanilla extract.  Mix and scrape down bowl.  Mix in 1 C pumpkin.

In another bowl, combine 2 C flour, 1 t baking soda, 1/2 t nutmeg, 1/2 t cloves, 1/2 t ginger, 1/2 t salt, and 1 T cinnamon.  Pour dry into wet and mix completely.  Lightly grease baking sheets.  Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Enjoy!  

12 Days of Cookies

We finally have internet in our new house!  I am so excited to be writing this post :)  It's been a hectic four months but we are settled in now and I am getting back into blogging.

To celebrate the season, I decided to bake every even numbered day (the 2nd through the 24th) in December, thus creating my 12 days of cookies.  I make the dough the night before and bake the cookies off the morning of each post.  It's hard squeezing in baking when you have a full time job and a family to take care of but it's my passion so I am going to deliver on my promise.

Here's the breakdown of days and types of cookies with links included.

Merry Christmas!
