Holiday Baking, anyone?
I got this great email of all these cookie recipes and immediately thought, "How can I share this with my blog friends?" So here is the link to ALOT of cookie recipes. There is also a page for cakes, pies, and breads. Enjoy, friends!

*Sorry, you will have to copy and paste this link. I am still trying to figure out how to make a clickable link in my post.**UPDATE** Yeah! I have done it!! I can now do clickable links. I know that this excites you as much as it does me.
As promised, my favorite holiday cookie, the Pilgrim Pie.
Pumpkin Cookies
2 eggs
2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Filling/Cream Cheese Frosting
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 to 5 cups confectioners' sugar
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the eggs, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture a half cup at a time, blending each time until smooth.
2. Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto an ungreased cookie sheet, using a moist finger or the back of a spoon to slightly flatten each mound. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the confectioners' sugar a half cup at a time, until the frosting is spreadable.
4. To assemble the pies, turn half of the cookies bottom side up and spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting on each one. Top them with the remaining cookies (turned right side up).

Comments
If you make pilgrim pies again this year, would you please let me have one? I know you're mad at me because I was all "meh" last time, but I think I was in a bad mood or something because I don't understand why I wouldn't like it either. It's PUMPKIN and CREAM CHEESE. TOGETHER.
iloveyou.
