- Ready In:
- 45mins
- Ingredients:

- Yields:
-
2-3 dozen
- Serves:
- 24
ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup butter
- 1⁄2 cup sugar (preferably turbinado or demerarra)
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1⁄2 cup pumpkin
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1⁄2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg (scant)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon clove (scant)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
directions
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Blend in flavorings: orange zest, salt, cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla.
- Incorporate yolk, then flour.
- Divide in two balls, wrap separately and chill at least 1/2 hour.
- Use cookie cutters on dough rolled 1/4 inch thick (thinner for crispy cookies, thicker for chewier).
- Bake 15 minutes at 375-degrees.
- Frost with any icing. For Haloween we used powdered sugar (maybe 3 cups? Sorry, don't know quantity) mixed with cream cheese (2 Tablespoons) flavored with orange zest (1/2 teaspoon) and maple syrup (1/4 cup). Add milk to moisten to proper consistency (just add by the dropful; a little goes a long way and you want the resulting icing thick enough not to run off the cookies). Apply sprinkles to wet frosting so they harden on top.
