PUMPKIN COOKIES FOR BABY

Pumpkin Cookies for Baby image

I wanted to make my baby some pumpkin cookies that were wholesome. After a quick search, I couldn't find any cookie recipes for babies so I altered the recipe I already knew worked. I made my altered version tonight and tried them. They are tasty, not very sweet, and almost a bit bland, but all baby food is somewhat bland. My baby likes them very much.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups raisins, or as needed
½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dry infant cereal
4 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup loosely packed brown sugar
½ cup margarine
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups cooked mashed pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
Place raisins in the bowl of a food processor. Add up to 1/2 cup flour, a sprinkle at a time, through the chute and pulse until raisins are ground and resemble oatmeal.
Mix flour, infant cereal, baking powder, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Cream brown sugar and margarine in a large bowl. Add eggs and mix well. Mix in pumpkin and vanilla extract. Mix in dry ingredients. Fold in ground raisins until well mixed. Drop small teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake in batches in the preheated oven edges are golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
