Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies

Adapted from a recipe I found on pinterest
Ingredients:
3 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Sugar Mixture:
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Dash of allspice

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugars on medium speed until well combined. Next, still on medium speed, beat in pumpkin. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until combined, but do not over mix. Cover the dough, and refrigerate for one hour, until firm.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and spices for the sugar coating. Scoop dough and roll into a ball. Roll the dough ball in the sugar mixture, and place on the lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Take a drinking glass with a flat bottom and moisten with water. Dip the glass in the sugar mixture, and use it to flatten the dough balls. Re-sugar the glass as needed.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. Remove when the centers of the cookies have set. Let cool on the baking pan for approximately 5 minutes, and then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely.

Spiced Cinnamon Pumpkin Cupcakes

By: Wendy Connors From cafejohnsoniajustrecipes.blogspot.com
(From the Williams-Sonoma website)
MAKES 36 CUPCAKES

2 2/3 all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda.
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
¼ tsp. cloves
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins (I always use Craisins)
1 can (15 oz.) solid pack pumpkin (about 1 ¾ cups)
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup canola oil
4 eggs

FOR THE ICING:
14 oz. pure white chocolate, finely chopped12 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature, cut into tablespoon-size pieces12 Tbsp. (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into tablespoon size pieces
Position a rack in center of an oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line three 12-cup muffin tins with decorative cupcake papers.
To make cupcakes, sift together the dry ingredients. Toss the walnuts and raisins with the flour mixture. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the tins.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, sugars, and oil. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition.
Add the flour mixture in three additions, stirring with a large wooden spoon. Mix until just combined.
Fill the muffin tins about ¾ full. Bake until the cupcakes are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the tins to a wire rack and let cool fro 10 minutes, them remove the cupcakes from the tins and let cool completely.
To make the icing, in a double boiler, melt the white chocolate, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand until just warm to the touch. In a large blow, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium-high speed until smooth and blended. Add the melted chocolate and beat again until smooth. Use the frosting immediately, coloring as desired. Spread 1 to 2 tbsp. of icing over each cupcake and decorate with colored sugars and decorating pens.
Unfrosted cupcakes will stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Once frosted, cupcakes are best eaten within 1 day.
