An easy cookie for the cooler fall weather. The prep time includes a 4 hr. chill time for the dough. This was an internet find that I added my own twist on at the end.
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 cup solid pack pumpkin
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts, (approx.)
Directions:
1. In medium bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, ginger and salt.
2. In large bowl, cream butter and sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin and egg yolk; mix well. Add dry ingredients; mix well. Cover and chill dough 1 hour or until firm.
3. Divide dough into 4 portions. Place each portion on a 14 x 10-inch sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap loosely around dough. Shape into 1 1/2-inch roll; then roll in finely chopped walnuts and wrap securely. Freeze 4 hours or until firm.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut rolls into 1/4-inch slices and place on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
5. Servings: Makes about 5 dozen.
