This is an awesome recipe. I just carved my first pumpkin of the season, and after seperating out the seed (for future roasting) I was left with a messy pile of guts. And I thought (in true future-old-lady fashion) isn't there SOMETHING I could do with these? The answer....COOKIES!
Pumpkin Guts Cookies
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup solid pack pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 10 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter until smooth. Beat in eggs until well mixed. Blend in pumpkin puree and vanilla.
(at this point, the gooey mess is very unappetizing looking. Don't worry, when you add the flour all will be well!)
3. Combine dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. Stir to blend.
4. Fold in white chocolate chips and pecans.
5. Drop by teaspoons onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
6. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Makes 3 dozen.
UNBELIEVIBLY GOOD! They developed a light, crispy outside and a soft but cohesive middle. Not crunchy, soooooo good. I substituted white chocolate chips for regular milk chocolate and it was still super good.
It didn't get rid of all the guts, only a cup of them, but I did feel less wasteful...in a way.
