My new favourite cookie recipe:
Mayflower Cookies
½ c unsalted butter
1 c brown sugar (I use part honey/agave syrup)
2 eggs
1¼ pumpkin puree
2 c flour (I use stone ground spelt)
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
2/3 c currants (I prefer chocolate chips and dried currants)
In large bowl cream together butter and sugar.
Add eggs and pumpkin puree.
Blend in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg & currants.
Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets & bake for 10 minutes at 350?
Cool on a wire rack
Makes 2 dozen
Notes:
My (defrosted) pumpkin puree is very runny so I add an extra cup of flour (includes ground flax seed and oat bran). This gives me more cookies.
