PUMPKIN DIP RECIPE:

Ingredients 

• 8 ounces softened cream cheese
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ginger
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• Graham Crackers, for serving
• Shortbread Cookies, for serving

Directions

1.		Place the cream cheese in a large bowl and stir with a rubber spatula just until the cream cheese is soft and smooth. Add the brown sugar and pumpkin puree.
2.		Blend the mixture together with a hand mixer or blender. Mix until creamy and smooth.
3.		Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir with a rubber spatula until smooth.
4.		Place the pumpkin dip in a bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
5.		Serve the dip with Graham Crackers or Shortbread Sandies Cookies. If you want to make sandwich cookies with the pumpkin dip, spread a heaping teaspoon of dip on the inside of one Sandies cookie. Place another cookie on top and gently press the cookies together.

HERB BREADSTICKS:

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound (orange-size piece) prepared dough
• Olive oil for brushing
• 1 tablespoon finely grated Parmesan

• Coarse salt
• Fresh or dried rosemary, thyme, or Italian herb mix

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or generously grease it with olive oil.
2. Cloak the dough to help it hold its shape while it rises: dust it with flour, then quickly shape it into a ball by stretching the surface and tucking it under the bottom, then rotating it a quarter-turn as you work. Roll it out into an 8- by 12-inch rectangle. Brush it generously with olive oil, sprinkle on the cheese, and scatter on salt and herbs to taste. Use a pizza cutter, as shown, or a sharp knife to slice the dough along its shorter side into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
3. Stretch the strips into 12-inch lengths and lay them on the prepared cookie sheet spaced one inch apart. You can make zigzag or swirled breadsticks by shaping them on the cookie sheet.
4. Bake the breadsticks on the oven's center rack until they're golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let them cool completely before serving.
