Cookie swap: Kim's pumpkin cranberry cookies
I chose this
pumpkin cranberry cookie recipe from Style at Home as I had just roasted off our Pumpkin we used at
Halloween and I had recently put it in bags in the freezer. Perfect opportunity to use it for this contest.

Ingredients
Directions
1 Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
2 Line two baking sheets with nonstick silicone baking mats or parchment paper. (Alternatively, use nonstick baking sheets or lightly butter conventional baking sheets.) Set aside.
3 Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and sift all together into a mixing bowl. Set aside.
4 Put the butter in the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle. Begin beating on low speed. Add the sugar, increase the speed to medium, and beat for about 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla. Add the egg, beating to incorporate, then add the pumpkin puree and beat to blend well.
5 With the motor running, slowly add the dry ingredients, beating to combine. When the dough is just blended, remove the bowl from the mixer and scrape the paddle clean. Stirring with a wooden spoon, beat in the cranberries until evenly distributed.
6 Using a tablespoon or small ice-cream scoop, place rounded mounds of the dough, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Place in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until set in the center and lightly colored around the edges. They should feel cakelike and the center should spring back when lightly touched.
7 Remove from the oven and, using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool. Store, airtight, at room temperature.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
