Ok, so pumpkin roll is not really a cookie but it's a family favorite that Mom has made for years. In fact, my brother and his daughter from Florida just requested her recipe the other day. I thought some of the "special-ness" had gone out of it since you can get a pumpkin roll at walmart anytime, but after tasting Mom's tonight, it is by far the best!! There's nothing like homemade.
Enjoy!!

| Pumpkin Roll 3 eggs 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ginger 2/3 cup pumpkin 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup flour 1 cup pecans or walnuts 1 teaspoon baking powder Filling 1 cup powdered sugar 8 ounces cream cheese 4 tablespoons margarine 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Beat eggs on high for 5 minutes; add sugar at last minute. Stir in pumpkin and lemon juice. Mix dry ingredients and fold in. pour into greased cookie sheet (with 1 inch sides). Sprinkle with pecans or walnuts. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn out on powder sugared towel. Sprinkle powdered sugar on roll also. Roll up in towel. Allow to cool fully. Unroll and spread with filling. Re-roll and refrigerate until ready to serve. **Instead of greasing the pan, we use parchment paper, pour the cake batter right onto it and it will come out of the pan easily and the paper will pull off. |
