Bill’s Incredible… and yes, they were edible… Pumpkin Cookies
Bill’s scrumptious cookies are easy to prepare and what I love about them is that they are not too sweet. Perfect to enjoy with a friend and a warm cup of tea.
The key to this recipe is to use an old pumpkin that has been kicking around since Halloween and then leave the dough in the fridge long enough to (almost) fester 
400 gr. flour
150 gr. butter
150 gr. brown sugar
100 gr. cooked, mashed pumpkin
1 egg
dash of salt
nutmeg and cinnamon to taste
Knead everything together until you have a nice thick mass. Then simply toss the dough in the back of your fridge and forget about it for a week to allow the flavours to incorporate. After a week, if you see anything green in the dough — you may have waited too long. Place spoonfuls of dough on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 200 degrees.

I love a lightly sweetened cookie with a cup of tea, too.
