This is pretty dang heavenly! Most people use Ginger Snaps but if you are like me and don't care too much for those, you will probably love using Graham Crackers!
4 C powdered sugar
30 oz canned pumpkin
2 (8 oz) cream cheese
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
(or you can use 2-3 teaspoons of pumpkin spice to your liking!)
Let cream cheese sit out and soften then blend all the ingredients together.
Store in refrigerator with tight lid.
Serve with Ginger Snaps, Graham Crackers, Vanilla Wafers etc..
PS To be Martha Stewart-"y" you can hollow out a small pumpkin and serve it out of that.
PSS We all know I am no Martha Stewart so knock yourselves out!

POWDERED SUGAR COOKIES
I like this easier no muss no fuss sugar cookie recipe. Also you don't have to roll dough, which, I don't know about you, but I HATE HATE HATE rolling dough!!
Also the consistency of these are WONDERFUL!
1 c powdered sugar
1 c Crisco
1 egg
Cream those together and add:
2 c sifted flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Add to creamed mixture. Form into balls and place on cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 375-400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or according to how brown you want them (me..not so much!)
Goes great with ICING!

AGGRESSION COOKIES
This is a good crunchy cookie but mostly it is just fun! You can halve up the dough for a young un to "play" too!
6 cups oats
3 c brown sugar
3 c butter or margarine
3 c all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking soda
Mash with your hands, it may look impossible but it WILL make dough! WARNING: This makes a LOT of cookies!
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes (you might wanna check times on the first batch!)
Also a great alternative to strangling people, or maybe that is just me. Whatever!
