Ingredients:
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon*
- 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg*
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup margarine (1 stick), softened
- 1 cup Libby’s® 100% Pure Pumpkin
- 3 oz. Vino Cotto di Montillo
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- * For a cookie with more of a spiced flavor, increase cinnamon to 1 tsp. and nutmeg to ½ tsp.
- ICING (optional)
- 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1½ tablespoons Vino Cotto di Montillo
- 2½ tablespoons milk
- 1/8 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
- 1/8 tsp. nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Using non-stick cooking spray, evenly coat baking sheets. Lightly wipe surface with napkin or paper towel.
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in medium bowl.
- Beat sugar and butter in large mixer bowl until well blended.
- Add pumpkin, vino cotto, egg and vanilla. Beat well.
- Gradually add flour mixture and beat until cookie batter is smooth.
- Drop by heaping teaspoon onto prepared baking sheets, leaving a 1-1/2” space between each.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden brown.
- Allow to cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Place cookies on wire racks to completely cool. These are moist cookies, so we recommend not stacking the cookies because they may stick together.
- Icing Instructions: Combine all Icing ingredients shown above in a small bowl. Mix until smooth. If icing is too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons more of milk to desired consistency. Drizzle or spread evenly over cooled cookies.
Try serving this dish with orzo tossed with butter and grated Parmesan and a salad.
