World's Best Pumpkin Biscuits, No Lie

Pumpkin Biscuits
5 Stars

These wonderfully unusual biscuits can be made a day ahead. Tender and delicious,I've never met anyone of any age who didn't love them.

2 1/2 cups flour
3 tbsp. packed light brown sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 cup softened butter
1 15-oz. can unsweetened solid-packed pumpkin

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet or line it with a piece of parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, stir the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and spices. (You may need to crumble in the brown sugar with your fingers.) Stir in the softened butter andpumpkin, and mix until a soft dough forms.

3. With clean dry hands, divide pieces of dough and pat into 1/2-inch thickness for each biscuit.. Place them on the cookie sheet, and put it on the middle rack of your oven. Bake the biscuits for 15 to 20 minutes (because they're already brown, you may need to break one open to see if they're done). Serve hot or at room temperature. Makes 16 to 18 irresistible biscuits.

I have never heard of pumpkin biscuits. They sound great, I will have to try them. have you heard about the pumpkin cookie that is just spice cake mix and pumpkin pie filling. I hear its really good (and according to weight watchers 1 cookie=1 point.)

Yes, try these, Shanna, confirmed pumpkin lovers are sure to appreciate them.
Liz, I tried those cookies, and I didn't like them. They tasted fake to me. But I think I used plain pumpkin instead of the pumpkin pie-filling.
