-1/2 tsp salt
-1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ginger
-1/4 tsp nutmeg
-2 tsp baking powder

-1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Frosting:
-4 oz of cream (1/2 package)

Basically mix all cookie ingredients and bake on a greased cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Beat frosting ingredients until smooth. Let cool and frost. I'm sure you could figure out a way to make this healthier if you wanted :)

Here's my favorite pumpkin cake. It also works with an equivalent quantity of cooked sweet potatoes.
ReplyDeleteSpiced Pumpkin Cake
2 14 oz cans of pumpkin (or 32 oz fresh)
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Spray 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray, then generously butter pan. Sift dry ingredients. Put pumpkin in bowl; add sugar and oil. Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth. Add eggs 2 at a time, beating for about 1 minute after each addition.
Add flour mixture; beat just until blended. Beat in vanilla. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
Bake cake until tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack 15 minutes. Using small knife, cut around sides of pan and center tube to loosen cake. Turn out onto rack; cool completely.
