    I'm trying to find is a recipe for pumpkin spice cookies that will taste like the ones from Aldi's Baker's Corner pumpkin spice cookie mix. The mix cookies are fantastic, but require a whole stick of butter, and I'd like to figure out a way to make something that tastes similar from scratch, with pureed pumpkin so as to cut down on the butter! Any suggestions??

    Oh wow...that looks yummy, I can't do milk(lactose issues) but I bet it would be fine to substitute with my almond milk.

    Thank you all....we are having baked apples tonight or tomorrow(it's getting late here) but found a recipe that doesn't use butter or sugar so hopefully it's good :) If it is then I will share the recipe on here as well.

    I love apple and rhubarb together for a really delicious harvest treat!!!!

    I prefer the apple does not have cinamon and baked with the rhubarb together with an oatmeal crust topping just to give it the crunch that you need... a little bit of sugar sprinkled over the apples and rhubarb then the oatmeal crust, simple delicious, it can be made lower calorie by just not going for a full cobbler type crust just a sprinkling of oatmeal, brown sugar and butter and granola goes along way... for an extra tartness a few dried cranberries gives it a different taste too !!! yum

    also like just stewing apples and rhubarb with a tiny bit of sugar and letting that mix cool... put in individual bowls... add a few tablespoons of low calorie vanilla yogurt and a few slices of apples on top with a half a cherry and you have a great dessert!!!

    I'm making this one tonight:
    http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/09/cinnamon-apple-crisp.html
    Servings: 8 • Serving Size: 1/8th • Old Points: 5 pts • Points+: 7 pts
    Calories: 242.0 • Fat: 6.8 g • Protein: 2.3 g • Carb: 49.5 g • Fiber: 4.5 g • Sugar: 32.3 g
    Sodium: 10.1

    I haven't tried it yet, but I love apple crisp. This one calls for agave syrup, and all I had was maple flavored agave, so we'll see.

    I've been making all sorts of quick breads from our harvest from our peach, apple and persimmon trees. I freeze the breads, coffee cakes, spice cookies, apple crisps, puddings, etc. When I want them for gifts or as a treat for company, I break out the breads, etc! If I know I am freezing it, I tend to stay away from it. It is nice to have these items on hand throughout the year!
