At my cousins baby shower on Saturday, my sister Stacey had these fabulous treats for us to eat. She had made Spice Cookies (kind of like Molasses cookies) and some super yummy Pumpkin dip, to dip the cookies in!!! YUMMY!!!! So, since I was having girls night last night, and we were supposed to bring cookies for an exchange... I used her recipe's. WOW, they are tastey, and I had to share!!!
Spice Cookies:
1 1/2 C. butter or margarine, or butter flavored Crisco
2 C. Sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. molasses
4 C. Flour
4 t. baking soda
2 t. cinnamon
1 t. ground ginger
1 t. cloves
3/4 t. salt
Additional sugar to roll cookies in
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add molasses; mix well. Combine flour, baking soday, spices and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Shape into small balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375' for 6-7 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire rack. Serve with pumpkin dip. Store in a container with a lid.
Makes 48 cookies
Pumpkin Dip:
1/4 c. dark brown sugar
2 T. sugar
1/4 c. water
1/2 t. allspice
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. ginger
1/4 t. cloves
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 1/2 c. canned pumpkin (one 15 oz. can)
1 (8 ounce) pkg cream cheese (softened)
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container cool whip
Combine the two sugars, water and spices in a 4 C. glass measuring cup. Mix well and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes; stir. Add pumpkin and mix well. Microwave on high 3-5 minutes, let cool in fridge for a half hour or so. In a mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Then add the cooled pumpkin mixture, and mix well. Finally, fold in the cool whip until combined. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve with Spice Cookies. (Makes 24 servings)
Also great with grahm crackers, nilla wafers, and other yummy "dipable" treats.
So, you must try these. Even people who don't like pumpkin things... like pie... loved this dip!!! It has cream cheese in it, could it get any better???
Thanks to Stacey for introducing us to these tasty treats, and for sharing your friends recipe!!!

Yummy!
I have a recipe similar to this, but I'll have to try yours to compare. My recipe suggests to serve the dip in a small cleaned out pumpkin. Super cute, huh? I love these pumpkin-cinnamon-fall treats!
