I wanted to make some seasonal, fall-type cookies to bring to a meeting I had the next day. I also wanted to use our new cookie press. So, I opened the box, hoping it would have a pumpkin die and it did! I found a recipe in the instruction/recipe booklet that came with the cookie press for Apple Butter Cinnamon Cookies. I didn't have apple butter, but did have pumpkin butter, and since I was making them into the shape of pumpkins it seemed like a perfect substitution. Next time though, I would not make it an even substitution. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup apple butter and 1/2 cup butter. If I were to do pumpkin butter again I'd do 1/4 cup pumpkin butter, 3/4 cup butter.
