Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

This recipe is an oldie, but a goodie. I have been making these cookies since I was a little girl, helping my mom make Christmas cookies and now as 70-year-old. They are delicious and are different enough and pretty enough to make any plate of cookies look special. However, don't wait until a special occasion to make these, as they are great any time of the year.
