Do you have a recipe that just reminds you of your mom? My mom is a fantastic cook and taught me how to have fun and relax in the kitchen. Leading up to our trip to Grandma's, Little C's most common question was "will Grandma make me some pumpkin cookies?"
Gourmet Grandma makes THE BEST pumpkin cookies--they're moist with just the right amount of spice and full of chocolate chips and pecans. YUM! We've been enjoying them all week and I convinced her to share the recipe. Thanks, Mom! Do you have any "family favorite" recipes that just remind you of home? I'd love to try them out!
Gourmet Grandma’s Pumpkin Cookies Ingredients:
¾ c. butter, softened
2 ¼ c. white sugar
2 eggs
3 ¾ c. flour
1 small can pumpkin (about 15 ounces)
1 ½ tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
¾ c. chopped nuts (optional--we like pecans)
¾ c. chocolate chips
Directions:Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and pumpkin. Mix well. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Spoon onto greased cookie sheet or cookie sheets covered in parchment. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes, cool and remove from pan. Makes 5 dozen. These freeze GREAT, just put them in single layers (otherwise they'll stick together).

I love pumpkin and chocolate together! Yes, I have LOTS of recipes that remind me of mom. I hope my son will remember some of mine...and hers!...someday!
I've got a recipe like this and they are soooo yummy!
Never thought to add chocolate chips to them. I have a recipe very similar, but with a Penuche Frosting. Maybe next time I'll add the chocolate chips instead of having frosting on them.
Wow...how fun! The package and the bakesale :)
Wow, this is the first time that I've heard about pumpkin cookies. I bet they're tasty! Thanks for sharing the recipe! :)
I've got a lot of memories of my mom's cooking! She's really good making breads. Yummm! These cookies sounds delicious!
