This recipe comes from my cousin Jenn. It's very similar to my other pumpkin cookie recipe on here, but just has slightly less on the spices, chocolate chips added, and no icing. The great thing about these cookies is that I can skip that extra step of the icing!
A quick hint - I use a pretty heavy hand when measuring the spices and chocolate chips.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. butter
- 1 1/2 c. sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 c. solid pack pumpkin
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/2 c. flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 c. milk chocolate chips
Directions:
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Beat in egg, pumpkin, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon. Gradly add to the pumpkin mixture.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop cookies on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Enjoy!!
I was looking for an easy apple dessert when I came across this recipe. The fact that it uses NILLA Wagers made it a must-try. For some reason, I'm obsessed with using these cookies in baking, though usually it's in a crust. The recipe is from Kraft and I found it on multiple places online. The recipe should yield 12 serving of 1/2 cup each... but four of us completely devoured this last night. Clearly, we weren't able to follow that guideline.
4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 c. packed brown sugar, divided
2 tsp. ground cinnamon, divided
1/3 c. oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) margarine
25 NILLA Wafers, crushed (about 1 cup crumbs)
Non-dairy topping (i.e. Cool Whip), Whipped Cream, or Ice Cream to use as a topping.
-
Toss apples with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Spoon into 8- or 9-inch square baking dish.
Combine oats, remaining brown sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in wafer crumbs and sprinkle mixture over apples.
Bake 30 to 35 min. or until apples are tender.
