Cajun French: le giromon (lu jeer-ō-mon) – pumpkin
Fall is in the air bringing wonderful sights and smells to us. The spices of Fall like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, anise, allspice, etc. are tingling our senses and it is time to bake. Pumpkin is a favorite and we like to try different ways to use the fruit. Pumpkin cookies topped the list since we had not tried that before. We found a recipe in Post Punk Kitchen and tweaked it to our taste.
Mais C’est Bon!
Enjoy!!
