Someone made these last fall for our office and I had to learn. It is a delicious treat that tastes like nothing else i have ever tasted before! There are many variations of this recipe but below is an easy to follow one, the kind I like!
Pumpkin pie/cookie part:
2 c. pumpkin
2 eggs, separated
2 c. brown sugar
1 c. oil
3 c. flour
1 tsp. each cloves, cinnamon, ginger, salt, baking powder, baking soda & vanilla
2 egg whites
2 tsp. vanilla
4 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. milk
1 1/2 c. shortening
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
To prepare filling: Beat 2 eggs until stiff. Add vanilla, flour and milk, beat well. Add shortening and 10x sugar. The more you beat it, the fluffier it gets! Spread between 2 cookies.
OH and I had to share this work of art.. pumpkin carving can be fashionable 🙂
