    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.

    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'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!

    Low-fat Pumpkin Cookies These are like tiny muffins, soft and moistly chewy, not overly sweet.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with Pam or oil.
    Whisk together in a large bowl: ¾ cup canned pumpkin puree, ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar, ½ cup plain nonfat yogurt, 2 Tbsp. canola oil, and 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Stir in 1 cup raisins.
    In a separate bowl, mix: 2 cups sifted cake flour, ½ tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, ½ tsp. ground ginger, ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg,1/8 tsp. ground cloves, and ½ tsp. salt. (Note: I often put in more spice, because I like it!)
    Use a wooden spoon to mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture just until blended.
    Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheets, 1 ½ inches apart. Bake about 12 -15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Do not overbake. Cool on a wire rack.
    Makes 36 cookies to share, don't eat them all yourself!. There is about 1 gram of fat and 1 tsp. sugar in each
