Answer 1

PUMPKIN COOKIES

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups cooked pumpkin, drained (or canned)
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon ginger
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup chopped nuts
1 teaspoon butter rum Schnapps (optional)

Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a teacup, stir the raisins with the butter rum Schnapps (or use a teaspoon warm water). Soak for 15 minutes.

Butter should be softened slightly but not nearly melting. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in eggs and pumpkin.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and spices until well combined. Combine the mixed dry ingredients with the pumpkin mixture until well blended (continue mixing for less than 1 minute to avoid tough cookies).

Stir in raisins, the liquid they steeped in, and chopped nuts.

Drop by teaspoonful onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes. Be careful not to overbake or cookies will be dry.

Remove cookies from oven; allow to cool 1 minute, then remove using a spatula, to continue cooling on a wire rack.

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Beat oil and sugar in mixing bowl. Add eggs and vanilla, beating well. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt together.

Answer 3

tablespoons butter
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 apple, peeled and diced
2 cups fresh pumpkin, roasted and diced, see note below
1 tablespoon sage leaves
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper

In a stockpot over medium heat, melt butter and saute onion, carrot, apple, roasted pumpkin, and sage until all are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Puree the mixture in a food mill; if you do not have a food mill, then puree in a food processor or blender. Return the puree to the stockpot, add the chicken stock and simmer for 15 minutes. Then add the cream and simmer for 5 more minutes, lowering the heat if necessary so it does not boil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Divide soup among 4 soup bowls and serve immediately.

Cook's Note: To roast pumpkin, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut whole pumpkin in half and then cut each half into several pieces. Discard seeds or reserve for another use. Place pumpkin on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven until tender but not falling apart, about 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool, peel away skin, and dice.

Pumpkins dose not have to be roasted it just adds flavor

Answer 5

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

1 box spice cake
1 15-oz can pumpkin
1/4 C. water

Mix cake mix, pumpkin and water together. No eggs or oil are needed, as the pumpkin adds the necessary moisture. Line muffin pan with cupcake liners. Bake according to directions on the cake mix box for cupcakes. Remove and let cool.
