Or possibly perhaps more accurately, there's a can of cooked pumpkin waiting for you at your local grocer's!

- In a separate large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking pwdr, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt.
- Pour pumpkin mix into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon till the cookie dough is blended thoroughly.
- Drop by the teaspoonful onto a non-greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 min in a pre-heated 375-F degree oven, till lightly brown. Remove from the cookie sheet to a wire rack to cold. Store in an airtight container for up to one week or possibly freeze in plastic bags for up to a month.
- Kitchen Staff Tips: If you'd like a little more spice to your spiced pumpkin cookies, simply prepare a cinnamon- sugar mix on a 4:1 ratio.
- Which is, 4 tsp. sugar to every 1 tsp. of cinnamon. Prior to baking, sprinkle the mix over the top of the cookies. It makes a handy cinnamon-toast sprinkle, too, if you prepare about 1/4 c. of the mix and store it in a shaker in your pantry.
