How to Make Pumpkin, Orange-Date Nut Cookies
- *I coat the orange slices with a little flour to chop them up and to keep them from sticking together.
Cream butter and cream cheese; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs; beat until well blended; stir in pumpkin and vanilla. - Combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking spice in a mixing bowl; stir well. Add dates, orange slices, and nuts to flour mixture. Gradually add flour mixture to cream mixture. Blend well. Drop tablespoons of batter unto an oil sprayed cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 15 minutes. Remove to rack and cool. Frost the cookies. This recipe makes approximately 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
- Frosting: A mixture of 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, approximately 1 tbsp. melted butter, 2 - 3 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 tsp. vanilla.
