TRIED AND TRUE!!! Forgot I needed to make a dessert for my son’s Boy Scout Troop for a spaghetti dinner fund raiser. I looked in the cupboard to see what I had, and what I could come up with… this is the result! They were DELICIOUS, and the first dessert to disappear! I made them by dropping from a tablespoon… You will get more out of it if you make them smaller… see the note at the bottom of the recipe.
-
4 1/2 cups baking mix (Jiffy, Bisquick, homemade, etc.)
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cup canned pumpkin (NOT prepared pumpkin pie filling)
Mix dry ingredients together. Add the milk, eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add the pumpkin and blend well. Mix will be fairly thick, moist and sticky… like brownie batter. Drop by teaspoonfuls* onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375F for 8 to 10 minutes, or til lightly golden and “stiff” to touch. If it caves in a little, bake a bit longer.
If you like, you could sprinkle the tops of the cookies with a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar before baking.
Yield: 4 dozen cookies (*or 3 dozen larger cookies)
