So. Halloween. I think I've entered into a stalemate of sorts with it. I love dressing up, don't get me wrong, but I'm too old to trick-or-treat (or so the neighbors tell me) and I'm too young to have kids to take trick-or-treating so that's out. I suppose there's always the 'have a Halloween themed party & get really drunk like all your peers' but my friends seem to really resist the dressing up part (don't get all mad at me, this is your issue). So what does that leave me with? Well the last few years I've taken to staying home, dressing up and passing out candy while watching Halloween movies with good friends. Kind of a stupid compromise if you ask me (Oh, you didn't? Oh well.). But it does mean that I get to cope by baking any and all things to do with Halloween and Fall (or so all the blogs tell me, living in the Midwest doesn't really guarantee me a lot of Falls)
Like, for example, ( look, a clean segue!...that I in no way wasted by pointing it out) these corn cookies that I found in Fudge Cupcake Murder.
Like the Pancake cookies, these were easy to make up. And unlike the Pancake cookies, these are a drop cookie! No refrigeration time! Of course that also means I have to remember on my own to write up the post and when you go out to dinner straight from work...a person might forget.
But I digress.
Like I said, these work up a lot like the Pancake cookies in the sense that it took me in between 5 and 10 minutes to get the batter up and running. It's got yummy pumpkin and cinnamon...and cardamon. The cardamon taste was too strong for me so next time I want to leave it out and see what happens. The recipe also read that one candy corn (how the cookies got their name) should be put into the center of each cookie, but I might experiment with 2 per cookie...or even 3 (game changer! Yes, I did just say game changer.) for the bigger cookies.
This makes a lot of cookies but have no fear for the recipe was found in a fiction book.
And if it's fiction...
