Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pie

Decided I felt like making cookies with some of my remaining cans of pumpkin and stumbled across this recipe. Had to share!!

    * 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
    * 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350°. In large bowl, with wire whisk, beat eggs. Beat in pumpkin, sugars, peanut butter, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Gradually add light cream, beating until blended; pour into pie crust. Bake 65 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. On wire rack, let cool. Garnish, if desired, with whipped cream.

Dang that looks good right now. Thanks for sharing!!

I don't have the ingredients in the house or I'd be making it today. It's on my list to try though. I love both peanut butter AND pumpkin. Yum yum! 

mmmmmmmm, that looks great Courtney.

OK. Here's the cookie recipe I just tried and it's a keeper! Very fluffy/delicate pumpkin flavor with a cinnamon aftertaste. Good tea cookie! I already ate......well nevermind how many. They're quite good!

I skipped the powdered sugar step btw. Didn't feel like opening a box just for that.


Pumpkin Cinnamon Butter Cookies

Ingredients

    * 2 cups flour
    * 1/2 tsp. salt
    * 1/2 tsp. baking powder
    * 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter
    * 1 cup sugar
    * 1 tsp. vanilla
    * 1 egg
    * 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
    * 1 tsp. sugar
    * 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
    * powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl combine flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.

In large bowl beat butter and 1 cup sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla, egg and beat. Add flour mix to butter mixture and beat until well combined, dough will be crumbly.

In small bowl mix pumpkin, sugar and cinnamon. Dollop pumpkin mix into cookie dough and gently mix in. This striated dough will give you bites of the butter taste as well as the pumpkin (and will look pretty as well).

Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly browned. Place cookies onto waxed paper that has been covered with powdered sugar. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top, sugar will melt into a delectible icing. Dust with extra powdered sugar when cooled (if desired) and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

That cookie recipe sounds great!  I'm going to have to try that one.  Thanks for sharing!

Those sound great!  I just made some Pumpkin Spiced Pecan Bread, but it is a mix from Williams Sonoma. I'd bought some in the US, loved it so much that my Mom sent me 12 packs of it - yay!!!!

drool drool drool both those recipes sound fantastic!  Methinks I need to go get a can of pumpkin and more peanut butter.
