I usually make the Pumpkin Rocks from "Maida Heatter's Cookies" cookbook. Because the recipes are so similar, I will now be using KA white whole wheat flour in them. The rocks do not spread out, hence their name. They look more like golf balls instead of half a pumpkin. But they may help some of the writers who wanted to make some changes in the KA recipe. To make 48 large pumpkin rocks, add 1/4 cup more flour; 1 more teas. baking powder; reduce the cinnamon, add nutmeg, cloves & allspice; reduce the butter to 4 oz.; and add 1/2 cup more white sugar. The rocks call for 1 cup raisins and 2 cups nuts and no chocolate. My family loves these little pumpkin "cakes". Thanks for the great seasonal recipes.
