Sisters-in-law are great suppliers of advice. My husband’s sister gave me a long-lasting gift when she introduced these pumpkin cookies to my family! Here’s to you, Yaffi!

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 and 1/2 cups sugar

  • 1/2 cup margarine (use soy-free if needed)

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract

Glaze

  • 1 tablespoon oil

Directions

Make the Cookies

1.

Gently mix first six ingredients in bowl. Place remaining ingredients in a mixer and thoroughly mix.   Add contents of bowl to the mixer and combine till mixed.  Refrigerate dough for half an hour.

2.

Using an ice cream scooper, place scoops of dough one inch apart on baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15–17 minutes.

For the Glaze

1.

Combine ingredients until glaze forms.  Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes:

These freeze really well and taste awesome without glaze too.

I’ll ask my sister in law. It won’t affect flavor, maybe consistency.

I just looked back at my original recipe! It is oil!

Pumpkin Power cookies I have not seen canned pumpkin puree here (Israel). If I use fresh pumpkin: a: that should work?, and b: how much pumpkin would I need to make a cup? Also, how many cookies does this recipe make? They look really good! Thanks!

Pumpkins come in so many different sizes. Roast one up and mash the flesh and see what comes up. You can freeze the rest,
