Make-a-Face Pumpkin Cookies

It's not often that you can microwave great-tasting pumpkin-flavored cookies. Enjoy creating goofy faces, or come up with your own designs.

1 1/2 cups Original Bisquick mix
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 egg
Assorted candies, such as licorice candies, candy-coated peanut
    butter candies and candy-coated chocolate candies

Place wax paper on microwavable plate. Mix all ingredients except candies until very soft dough forms.

Drop dough by 2 rounded tablespoonsful onto wax paper; spread to make 3-inch circle. Make 3 cookies at a time. Decorate with candies to make monster faces, placing candies within 1/2 inch of edges.

Microwave uncovered on HIGH 1 minute. Turn plate 1/2 turn. Microwave 30 seconds to 1 minute longer, checking once or twice, until cookies are puffed and dry. Slide wax paper with cookies onto wire rack. Cool 5 minutes; remove from wax paper to wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough.
