Just because it’s pumpkin everything at this time of year.
 
From:
Pillsbury Simply From Scratch Recipes Vol 3   (1981)
Publisher: Wm. Edgley
Managing Editor: Reneé Dignan
Copy Editor: Valerie Bridgman
Recipe Development & Coordination: Barb Strand
Food Stylist: JoAnn Cherry
Design, Photography, Production by:
Tad Ware & Co., Inc.
Nutrition Coordinator: Barb Bentson, R.D.

 
PUMPKIN COOKIES
A frosted cake-like cookie with lots of spice.
 
1 cup sugar
1 cup margarine or butter, softened (use butter)
1 cup cooked pumpkin
2 teaspoons vanilla (real, not artificial)
2 eggs
2 cups Pillsbury’s Best ® All Purpose
    Flour*
3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins (plump before measuring)
1 cup chopped nuts

 
FROSTING
2 tablespoons margarine or butter, (use butter)
       softened
2 cups (yes, 2) powdered sugar
   Dash salt
1 to 2 tablespoons milk (whole milk 3.25% milk fat)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (real not artificial)
 

I put the instructions and variations in this spoiler box.
 
Heat oven to 350° F. In large bowl, combine
sugar, margarine, pumpkin, vanilla and eggs;
blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring
cup; level off. Stir in flour, baking powder, spice
and salt; blend well. Stir in raisins and nuts. Drop
by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto
ungreased cookie sheets.
 
Bake at 350° F. for 12 to 15 minutes or until
lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets
immediately. Cool. In large saucepan, brown 1/3
cup margarine (butter) over medium heat until light
golden brown. Blend in remaining frosting
ingredients; beat until smooth. Frost cooled
cookies. 48 cookies.
 
TIPS:
* Self-rising flour is not recommended.
 
Cinnamon can be substituted for pumpkin pie
spice: decrease to 2 teaspoons
Whole wheat flour can be substituted for all
purpose flour.
For applesauce cookies, substitute applesauce
for pumpkin. Increase flour to 2 1/2 cups and
substitute cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice.
 
HIGH ALTITUDE — Above 3500 Feet: Bake at 375° F. for
12 to 15 minutes.
 
Notes from me:
Regardless of altitude or temperature set, keep an eye on either type cookie from the 9:
minute mark. There is enough sugar and fat that they’ll go from done to burnt in the :
blink of an eye. The best solution is to bake a test cookie on its own and adjust the :
batch time accordingly.

Calling all Cleo Pals and Puzzle People….

It’s another Saturday night in Cleveland, or as we know it, Cleoland…

And time for some more fine Find-the-Differences fun.

A retro look to this one… that, or else Nighthawks is saving a few cents this week by not buying multicolored pixels.

The good thing about it is that it’s much easier for me to choose a color, for circling the differences, that won’t get lost in the artwork.

….

You gotta love Dr. Frankenbasset’s super-excited expression…

I’m glad there’s an exclamation point in his word balloon, so the monster feels appreciated.

Anyway… I’m posting the solution early again… Remember, that’s not a license to peek.

You don’t want to go sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, not when you’re in the vicinity of a mad scientist who harvests body parts to make monsters.

So do your very best…. And then….

You may check your solution HERE!

I have to admit… I was so hoping Eyegore’s hump would change sides…

I find a difference that is consolidated with another difference in your solution, and thought I had found 9. But your solution does indeed contain a clear difference that I missed. Phooey!

The third video, with the Alzheimers ballerina, was very touching. I guess you remember what is really important to you.

You don’t really want to know how my mind went from a photograph of Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot and basset in London to the two photographs below (unless, of course, you’d be ” — happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats — “) but nonetheless, it did.
 
Picture of “The New Colossus” tablet on the walls of the base of the Statue of Liberty.

I hate it when that happens.
We get that a lot on Storrow Drive in Boston. There is a notorious underpass on Storrow that takes the driver under a bridge. “Stuck truck on Storrow” is a regular part of the traffic report on the radio. Sometimes the truck doesn’t stop in time and it’s like opening a pudding can.

We have one of those here in Munich, too – in Moosach, to be precise.
