The first "pumpkin" recipe I made this fall was Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars; a Martha Stewart recipe. I was introduced to this recipe when I worked at a gluten free bakery. Boy were they good! This time around I substituted chocolate chucks for the chocolate chips. What a fabulous substitution! The delicious pumpkin bars were now divine. Moist and chocolatey; what more could one ask for?
The second recipe that included pumpkin was another recipe from Martha Stewart; Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Butter Frosting. The cookie is cake like; the frosting is amazing! The frosted cookie is rich but not in a sugar high way. No lingering sweetness. Just a nice nutty, pumpkin flavor. If you have never had the occasion to use brown butter I highly recommend you either try this recipe or find some other recipe that has brown butter as an ingredient. It adds a wonderful nutty flavor to what ever it is you are making.
Once Thanksgiving preparations start, the canned pumpkin will be flying off the shelves. I have several cans in my cabinet for use in the next few weeks. I haven't decided what I will make with it. Pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin macarons, the possibilities are endless. What is your favorite "pumpkin" recipe?
