Mmm. I made these the other day with some pumpkin I'd roasted and they are yummy! I modified the original recipe a bit (less butter and sugar, dried cranberries instead of fresh, whole-wheat flour) and they are delicious! They're a bit like these cookies, but with more complexity. A great autumn cookie.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until well combined. Add in egg, pumpkin, and vanilla, beating well to combine.
