Instead of raisins, this recipe calls for currants and maple flavoring. The easiest part of the meal is the crust. Because so many people ask for these during Christmas, I make 20 dozen of them.

Used butter instead of shortening and forgot it has more water lol these pumpkin pie flavor “pancakes” are yummy LOL
Just made…like a pumpkin pie without the crust. very tender.
Unfortunately, we did not enjoy these. I threw the remainder of the batter away after baking the 1st batch. Wierd flavor and texture.
I doubled the recipe and made some changes. I used about a third a cup of shortening and 2/3 butter since I didn’t have enough shortening. Also did a cup each of white and brown sugar just because I prefer brown sugar. Also added mini white chocolate chips. Cookies were a bit doughy but I dont like hard cookies so I thought they were great! Would definitely make again
These were wonderful. Big hit with family
Yuk! Center doesn’t cook consistently, and they are rubbery, even with nuts added. Threw them out!
Easy to make. A little less flavorful than I was expecting.
These are those cookies that are similar to cake. Definitely reminds me of pumpkin pie! I used a whole 15 oz. can of pumpkin and butter in place of shortening. They are addicting little cookies! I can imagine how extra yummy they would be having cool whip!
