Make your favorite pumpkin cookie recipe.  Line a mini muffin tin with Halloween/Fall decorative paper liners.  Spray with non-stick cooking spray and spoon pumpkin cookie mix into each tin.  Bake “Mookies” at 350 degrees for

8 -10 minutes or until done.  While Pumpkin Mookies are still hot, place a candy corn or other seasonal candy into the center of each one.  You can also use Halloween sprinkles.  Let stand for 5 minutes, and serve. An added bonus is the wonderful aroma of sweet pumpkin that fills your home, and will remind you of simpler times.

Be Prepared with Pumpkin Puree

There are other unique uses for pumpkin besides Mookie ingredients, and pumpkin puree is one of them.  It is easy to make.  First, scoop out the seeds and the “innards” of your pumpkin and set aside.  Put the pumpkin in a baking dish, cut-side down, and bake at 350 degrees for about 90 minutes.  When the pumpkin flesh is tender, scoop it out and puree in a food processor, until smooth.  Pumpkin puree can be used in anything from pancakes to pies, and can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.  Add sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and other favorite spices as you cook with the pumpkin puree.
