Squeezing out the last of the egg nog!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!! I trust that everyone had a wonderful time ringing in the new year, whether it was at home or out with friends. I don't know about you but I wanted to squeeze out the last of my egg nog (and the holiday feel) with one last holiday recipe that we can still enjoy this winter. Call me crazy. These cookies will bring warmth in your heart and in your home but won't add pounds to your hips! More winter recipes to come soon!!!

Pumpkin Spice Cookies....mmmmm

1 box of spice cake mix
1c pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tbsp low-fat egg nog
1/2 stick of softened butter
1c chopped pecans
1c Heath toffee bits

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, mix your dry ingredients together (your cake mix, pecans, and toffee bits). Slowly add the remaining wet ingredients (pumpkin, egg, nog, and butter). Mix all of it together until it is all combined. I used an old fashioned wooden spoon for fun! It helps keep the toffee and pecans in their perfect sizes.

On an un-greased, non-stick cookie sheet, place a dollop of cookie dough about two inches apart on the cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.

These cookies are a perfect treat to round out the holiday season and get us going in 2012!!!!
