    Bake at 350°F. for 18 to 22 minutes or until puffed and tip of knife inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around edges of cookies. Cool cookies in pans for 5 minutes. Carefully remove cookies from muffin cups; place on wire racks to cool. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled.

  • Tightly wrap unpeeled gingerroot and refrigerate it for up to three weeks, or freeze it for up to six months. Just grate the frozen gingerroot and return it to the freezer.
  • Use the remaining pumpkin in quick breads, muffins or pancakes.
  • Topped with small dollops of whipped cream, these tassies are spectacular for dessert buffets.
