CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN CAKE COOKIES


My family has been making these cookies for many years. 
Perfect for large gatherings or sharing because this recipe makes 4-5 dozen
 They have a nice pumpkin flavor, with a cake-like texture.
DELICIOUS!!!








PUMPKIN COOKIE RECIPE

4 eggs 
1 cup olive oil
 2 cups sugar 
15 or 16 oz pumpkin puree*
3 cups flour 
2 tsp baking powder 
1 tsp baking soda 
2 1/4 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp cloves 
1/2 tsp ginger 
1/2 tsp nutmeg Dash of salt

Preheat oven to 375°

Beat eggs, oil, and sugar on medium in a large mixing bowl until blended. 
Add pumpkin and mix thoroughly. 

In separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. 
Gradually add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture. Mix on medium until smooth. 

Spoon heaping teaspoons onto cookie sheet (we make globs of batter about 1 1/4" in diameter). 
Bake 10 - 12 minutes. 

Drizzle with chocolate frosting, if desired.
*The original recipe calls for 16 oz, but the standard can size shrank so now we use 15 oz.


CHOCOLATE FROSTING DRIZZLE RECIPE

1/3 cup butter 
1/3 cup cocoa powder 
1 1/2 tsp vanilla 
2 cups powdered sugar 
3 or 4 tbsp milk (2 tbsp if using to frost a cake)

In medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and add cocoa powder. Stir until well blended. Beat in powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle onto cookies with a spoon. The frosting will become stiffer as it cools, so if it becomes too thick to drizzle, just warm back up it on low heat until it melts.

ESSENTIAL OIL OPTIONS
Try adding a drop or orange or cinnamon Vitality oil to the batter or drizzle recipe :)

 Sharing what works for me and loving on others.
I pray you will be blessed!
 



Hey there! :)
God has created so many neat things for our health and pleasure.
I'm so glad you've come to learn more about them!

I'm Diana,  homeschooling mama of seven.  While it is sometimes chaotic (like quite often, haha), I love bringing my children into my world whether it be out in the garden or by my side learning to crochet.  Life is full of blessings for everyone.  We can be more JOYFUL people when we intentionally look for them and praise God for the beauty in the simple things He gives us every day!

Truly pure essential oils are one of those blessings...tools the Lord has given us for our good and to help us in so many ways! Young Living has been used mightily in our lives! Oregano oil was the first game-changer for me. It worked so well I never went back to my old toxic ways.  Every person in my family has been impacted for the better and I want to spread that message so others can experience the blessing too!  

Besides UN-adulterated essential oils, YL also has loads of oil-infused toxin-free products to help break the chains from personal care products that have caused many to have hormonal issues, increased cancer risk, depression, behavioral issues, etc.

I love having FRUGAL natural alternatives to keep my family well and am here to help, edify, and empower others <3
