NOTE: There is still plenty of time to share your favorite Christmas cookie with us. Just mail us the recipe, photo if you have one, and a little “background” about the cookie. Also, if you’d like your blog shared, make sure to include your URL. Then email all the info to weefolkart@yahoo.com!

I am dying to try this recipe sent in by Rachel at Olives and Yarn. I like pumpkin and I like chocolate, but I never would have thought of combining the two. Now Tim, on the other hand, would consider combining chocolate with ANYTHING! Hmmm… maybe I could actually get him to eat asparagus if I dipped it in chocolate, but I digress! Anyway, we would like to thank Rachel for sharing these yummy looking cookies. Make sure you drop by Olives and Yarn and say hi!

Here is a cookie recipe for Wee Folk Art. This is a favorite recipe in our household. They are really good, and we bake them quite frequently. The original recipe actually came from another site, www.tollipop.typepad.com and then I made some slight modifications to it. I have attached a picture and here is the recipe. Thanks!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
A little over 1/2 can of pumpkin
Approximately 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1-2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking powder
Salt to taste
Chocolate chips (we use dark chocolate)
Optional: Can also add walnuts, pecans, or raisins

Preheat oven to 350
Mix together butter, sugar, and salt
Add vanilla, then add two eggs. Mix.
Add pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix.
Add 2 teaspoons baking powder. Mix again.
Add about 2 cups of flour. Mix and add more if dough looks too drippy.
Add 3/4 bag of chocolate chips.
Then, spoon cookies onto baking sheet at equal distance apart.
Bake 15-16 minutes.

Thanks again and happy holidays,

Rachel 🙂
