Pumpkin Spice Cookies

This is one of my favorite holiday cookie recipes for so many reasons -- convenience, taste, and nutrition, to name only three.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup coconut oil can substitute with butter or lard
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups canned or cooked pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon  allspice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, coconut oil, and sugar.
  • Add pumpkin and eggs, and mix that up.
  • Add all of the dry ingredients and mix up.
  • Once it's thoroughly combined, drop the dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. If you have a nifty little scooper, that works especially well with these cookies.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Cool on a rack.

Notes

You can enjoy them warm straight from the oven, but if you want to make them look a little fancier (or if you have sugar addicts at your house like I do), you can add frosting and top each one with half a walnut or pecan.
