I've been told before that I have an "addictive personality" and I've come to realize that it's true. When I like something, I tend to really, really, really like it. Purple. Pandas. Pucca. All things that I've at one point gone a little overboard with liking. And now there's another "p" to add to that list --- pumpkin!
I don't like cold and gummy pumpkin pies but ever since I tried a homemade pumpkin roll w/ cream cheese made by my coworker's girlfriend, my interest in pumpkin was piqued. Add the fact that I am currently really into orange (the result of overdosing on purple since 1st grade) and that the color and taste of pumpkin totally shout fall (my favorite season), and you've got a full-blown obsession! I think the absence of pumpkin in my life growing up only makes me more curious about baking desserts with it. And after some experimenting, I love how pumpkin automatically makes everything moist and fluffy! I think this is the beginning of a life-long love interest.
PUMPKIN COOKIES
Pure pumpkin. Cakey; moist. My favorite.
