Oh, and here's ANOTHER pumpkin recipe! I made these for church last month - everyone wanted seconds. Enjoy!
BROWNED BUTTER FROSTED PUMPKIN BARS
Tangy cranberries stud these luscious, spicy pumpkin bars.
Preparation time: 20 min Baking time: 20 min Yield: 60 bars
Bar Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin (or two cups fresh or frozen pumpkin puree)
3 eggs
3/4 cup chopped sweetened dried cranberries
Frosting Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (MUST USE BUTTER!)
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 to 1/3 cup milk
Ground cinnamon, if desired
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, baking soda and ginger in large bowl. Stir in 3/4 cup butter, pumpkin and eggs; mix well. Stir in cranberries.
Spread batter into ungreased 15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.
Meanwhile, melt 1/2 cup butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly and watching closely, until butter just starts to turn golden brown (3 to 5 minutes). Immediately remove from heat. Pour into medium bowl; cool 5 minutes.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla to butter mixture; mix well. Stir in enough milk for desired frosting consistency. Spread frosting over cooled bars. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, if desired. Cut into bars.

We are thanful for two friends we've become close to - not long known in this life, but old friends nevertheless. Hugs to you and The Shepherd!
So glad you dropped by Rosehaven Cottage! Now I get to meet all of your wonderful darlings. Some day I want sheep. In the meantime, I can enjoy those that belong to others, like you! Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage
