Pumpkin Cookie recipe?
10 Answers
I can find countless American pumpkin cookie recipes on the net, but the weights and measurements are different to U.K recipes (using cups, etc.). I've tried converting the weights and measurements, but it doesn't quite work out as something like a cup of flour works out different to, say, a cup of raisins, or pumpkin pulp. Has anyone got a good pumpkin cookie recipe (soft cookie, crunchy cookie, spiced, with raisins...it doesn't matter) with English measurements/weights???
