Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Pumpkin Cookie Recipe...

Here is the basic Pumpkin Cookie recipe from the Recipe Exchange board:

These are a family favorite. The original recipe calls for 1 cup of oil and I used applesauce. The cookies are kind of cake like so the applesauce worked. This is so easy. My recipe is actually just the ingredients. We always have them for Thanksgiving.

1 can of Pumpkin (the 16 oz cans)
4 egg whites
1 cup of applesauce
2 cups of sugar
4 teaspoons of baking powder
4 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of salt dissolved in 1 teaspoon of soy milk
1 pkg of semi-sweet chocolate bits (mini's work well or dairy free chips)***

Mix all the ingredients except the chocolate together till well combined. Add chocolate. Drop spoon fulls on to a sprayed cookie sheet.

Bake 375 for 8 to 10 minutes

NOTES:

*** Member 'torbetta' subsequently suggested using chopped crystalized ginger in place of the chocolate bits, and Heather thought this was a great idea.

You can even leave the chocolate or ginger bits out entirely, and the cookies are still great! I think some finely chopped nuts would be good in this cookie as well. Use what you personally can tolerate and enjoy.
