Pumpkin Spice Cookies, that is! If you, like me, have a serious addiction to St*rb*cks Pumpkin Spice Scones, you are going to love these. I also figure that making them myself will save me about a sweater or twos worth of yarn. No joke.
I used this recipe, from allrecipes.com. It’s a pretty good recipe, easy, and I had everything I needed already in the kitchen, except for the pumpkin and confectioners sugar.
I did change a couple of things though, I used unbleached all purpose flour, and I cut the white sugar in half, from 1 1/2 cups to 3/4 cup (cause nobody needs that much white sugar. Oh, unless it’s in my coffee).
ETA: Also, the recipe says 36 servings, but I’ve made this twice now, and I got about 22 cookies, and I didn’t even make them giant size. Whenever I bake cookies, I only put about 1/2 dozen cookies on the first sheet that goes in the oven, to see how the gas oven is cooking, and I found that 10-12 minutes is good for these guys, instead of the 15-20 that the recipe says.
I’m definitely making these again, but next time, I’m going to add more cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, to really get that great fall spice mix taste.
I don’t know what is is about the fall feeling in the air, but I loves me some baking action this time of year. I’ve got plans for more pumpkin-y goodness, and I am so going to make apple pie this year. Then I should probably get on the treadmill, or just feed it all to Brandt. That’ll work.
Shop Stuff- I’m finally stocking the shop! Later today, around 5ish or so. There will be just a bit yarn, mostly variegated, and a whole whack of fiber. Lots of Superwash Merino, some BFL, and also Merino, which I haven’t previously dyed for the shop, as well as some Merino/Tencel, which is so beautiful to spin I want to keep it all myself (but I won’t, promise).
So look forward to that, and I should be back in full swing of dyeing by the end of September, beginning of October. First thing I’ll be stocking is more Halloween colors!!
ooh, those look great! like you, I love those scones. SO GOOD.
but when I click on the recipe, I only see 2 ingredients? pumpkin and a cake mix? is that right?
They look amazing! I am definitely going to try those. Thanks! x
Oh, yum! Looking forward to your Halloweeny colors. I always miss your fall update. I’ll have to do some serious stalking 😉
My college roommate’s mom gave me a great recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Your post reminds me that it’s time to make some!
mmmmmm, those cookies sound and look delicious! I’m going to have to give them a try. I’ve been making applesauce, fills the house up with this yummy apple fall smell. I couldn’t believe it the other night I asked Allysa (who’s 4) what she wanted for dessert and she said “applesauce that you made.” Well, I guess I’m not the only one that thought it was good!
Agghhh! More fiber?! I had to buy up the last batch to stop the temptation. I definately can’t afford this. Well maybe some merino and merino/tencel for a few little things. Squee!
It’s good to see the baking spirit flowing around after I made a ton of cookies and cake and cupcakes this weekend.
I have this wonderful old cookbook called the spice cookbook that adds some pepper to the pumpkin mixture. I have plans to see if that works as well for pancakes as it does for pumpkin pie!
Mmmmmm….those look yummy!!
I got my sock club yarn and it is so beautiful! Thank you so much again for being sweet enough to save a spot for me in the club while I was away 🙂
Oh and even though I don’t know you too well, I gave you an award over on my bloggy! Come see 🙂 And have a great weekend!
