Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut Cookies

December 19, 2019Kehoe Family Chiropractic recipe

Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut cookies are a holiday treat that our family enjoys year round. They are also one of the MOST loved cookies during our annual cookie and cider week. After many years of being asked for the recipe and never having quite enough time to get it out, I am posting it here for all to enjoy.

Thank you for your patience. I hope it was worth the wait.

1 1/2 cup of coconut oil ( but you can also use butter)
1 15oz can pumpkin
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar cane
2 large eggs
4 cups of flour ( I use 2c all-purpose and 2c whole wheat
2 tablespoon cinnamon powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
1 1/2 heaping cup of dried cranberries
1 cup of chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Beat butter or oil with sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and pumpkin. Beat until smooth. In a separate bowl combine flour, spices, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir with a whisk until blended. Add flour in 2-3 batches to your wet batter and mix until well combined. Stir in nuts and dried cranberries.

If batter is slightly runny ( which may be the case if it”s warm and your coconut oil is liquid) place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30min-1hr until firm.

Drop by spoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until set and bottoms are brown. Leave on sheets for 1 minute and remove to wire racks to complete cooling.

These one’s have chocolate chips. Go-ahead improvise!

Cookies freeze well in zip-lock bags for months. ( if you can keep them there.)

I can’t really tell you how many this makes because it depends on the size of your cookie and I never make a single batch.

If I am guessing… I would say this makes 4-5 dozen?

These gems are delightful with tea or Kehoe Christmas Cider. 😉

FAQs

Every doctor of chiropractic has completed 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience in the areas of orthopedics, neurology, physiology, human anatomy, clinical diagnosis, diagnostic imaging, exercise, nutrition, rehabilitation and more. Most chiropractic students have an additional undergraduate bachelor’s degree in pre-med studies. This makes the education for doctors of chiropractic among the most stringent of any of the health care professions.

However, there are some variations between chiropractic colleges. Some have more emphasis on developing highly skilled adjusters and there are also differences between doctors of chiropractic and their desire to become proficiently skilled in their adjusting techniques. At Kehoe Family Chiropractic the doctors have invested further resources beyond what is standard in order to become skilled in the Gonstead technique. What’s more is that the doctors at Kehoe Family Chiropractic are passionate about their work and consider it a blessing to be able to help so many people experience better health and vitality. Perhaps that is why we are so different? Regardless, we are glad you noticed.

The function of your spine can influence the way your brain perceives what is going on in your body. When you have a misalignment in your spine, it affects the way your brain tells your body to move. Chiropractic care helps restore motion and improves the way your body functions. This not only helps switch off pain sensors in the brain but can also produce specific neurotransmitters that help your body work better too. The result is optimal function and feeling great!
