Yummy cookie recipe and a new yummy snack "recipe"

I did a little baking over the weekend. There's nothing I love more in the Fall/Winter time than pumpkin flavored sweets!!! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bars, pumpkin whoopie pies, gooey pumpkin butter cake and now Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies. The recipe is on the Libbys website, but I will post it here. These little cookies are not too sweet, so Gene and Kate really enjoyed them...I did too (and Kate's friend Sarah really chowed down LOL).

Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Beat sugar and butter until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture. Mix well. Drop about 1 1/2 - 2 rounded tsp. (original recipe calls for rounded TBS, but I made mine smaller...perfect bite sized cookies!) onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 15 - 18 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 2 minutes. Drizzle with glaze.

Glaze: 2 cups sifted powdered sugar, 3 TBS milk, 1 TBS melted butter, 1 tsp vanilla. Mix until smooth

While scrapping with Erin and Nikki at Nikki's house not long ago, Nikki treated us to a yummy treat that she called Snowman Popcorn. It is a bit sweeter than those popcorn balls you get in the stores this time of year, but not too bad. I made some last night and the three of us chowed down on it! It's easy and yummy!

Snowman Popcorn
Preheat oven to 400 - 425 degree. Grease cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. Pop one bag of microwave popcorn (I like the butter flavored). Once done, pick out all unpopped kernels. Put in a large mixing bowl. In med. sauce pan, melt down 1 small jar of marshmallow fluff on med. low heat. When you are able to pour it, pour it over the popcorn. Mix well, trying to coat all of the popcorn. Spread evenly on baking sheet. Bake for about 10 - 12 minutes. Keep an eye on it, you don't' want to burn it. Once the marshmallow starts to turn a little bit golden brown, take out of the oven and let cool for a bit. Break up into pieces. Eat and enjoy!!! the golden brown pieces taste like toasted marshmallows. So yummy!!!
