Grandma's pumpkin cookies ~

Happy Thursday friends!

I did a little baking of my favorite fall treat this evening, and I thought I would share the recipe.  My mom used to make these cookies by memory, so the recipe she provided to me years ago is very piece-meal, but I'll do my best for you!

Pumpkin Cookies

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup canned pumpkin

1 cup butter (2 sticks)

2.5 cups flour

1 egg

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1.5 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 cup nuts (optional)

1/2 cup raisins (optional)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 package chocolate chips

1 package butterscotch chips

Bake at 350 degrees until done.  They are best soft and moist.

 I tend to pull all my ingredients together like this above.  Otherwise, I am sure to forget something!

 Mix all the ingredients together.  Save the chocolate and butterscotch chips until last.  You can just quickly stir them in with a quick switch of your mixer, or by hand.

I spooned them onto baking sheets in dollop size drops and baked them for about 25 minutes. 

 They are excellent with a glass of milk!

And the milk tastes so good in my new frenchie wine glasses that I bought at a french boutique called Fleurs in Medina, Ohio.  Since I don't drink wine, I drink my water and milk and OJ in them!

And see that Paris tea towel peeking out up there?

That arrived today from the sweet and talented Sheila of Tattered Goods.

Check out her Etsy shop to see her new ruffled tea towels designs!  You will love them, I'm sure of it!

(the white meringues in the tall apothecary jars are from Trader Joe's)

If you decide to make my Grandma's pumpkin cookies, I hope you enjoy!
