PUMPKIN OATMEAL COOKIES
(This is really just a standard oatmeal cookie recipe, with half as
much sugar and pumpkin substituted for the butter. I made it for an
office meeting last summer substituting applesauce for the butter, and
nobody noticed that they weren’t ordinary, high-fat oatmeal cookies.)

1 cup canned or cooked pumpkin
1 cup brown sugar
Egg replacer for 2 eggs (I used Eggbeaters, but one could try a vegan
substitute instead)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cloves
3 cups oatmeal
1 cup raisins

Thoroughly mix pumpkin and brown sugar; then beat in egg substitute.
Gradually mix in flour, soda, and spices, then mix in oatmeal and raisins.
Drop by spoonfuls on non-stick or oil-sprayed cookie sheets. Bake at
350 degrees for 10-20 minutes. Makes 4-5 dozen.

NOTES : In the Congressional Club Cookbook of 1970, this is included
with recipe –

“”Bean Soup has been a featured item on the menu of the House of
Representatives Restaurant since long before that day in 1904 when the
then Speaker of the House, Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, came into the
House Restaurant and ordered Bean Soup.

Then, as now, Bean Soup was a hearty, zesty, and filling dish; but it
was typically hot and humid in Washington that day, and, therefore, Bean
Soup had been omitted from the menu. “Thunderation,”, he continued,
“from now on, hot or cold, rain, snow, or shine, I want it on the menu
every day.”

And so it has been- Bean Soup on the menu every single day since.
For our many friends who over the years continue to ask for the recipe
for this famous soup, we print it herewith, just as it has always been
made (adapted to family-sized quantity) in the House Restaurant kitchen
in the Capitol.“”

Title: WALNUT CHOCOLATE RUM BALLS
Categories: Desserts, Nuts, Candies
Yield: 1 Lot

1 c Walnuts, ground or
– finely chopped
2 c Grated “German’s sweet” or
– bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2 c Sifted confectioner’s sugar
4 tb Rum
Cocoa powder

Combine nuts, sugar, and chocolate. Moisten with rum
to form a stiff dough. Form into small balls and roll
in cocoa to coat. This recipe is not only simple, it’s
flexible. It can be made with other kinds of liquor
(amaretto, sherry, and Southern Comfort work well),
nuts (almonds or pecans, for instance) and coatings
(ground nuts, finely grated coconut, etc.) and always
comes out tasting great. Adding small chunks of nut
for texture is also effective.
