My friend Liz shared a similar caramel pumpkin blondie recipe years ago, and I've made it dozens of times with various tweaks. This is my favorite version, even though the caramel makes it sticky and messy it's totally worth it. It's forgiving, so feel free to alter and experiment! Store in an airtight container.

Basic Sugar Cookies - Tried and True Since 1960
This sugar cookie recipe with self-rising flour is from my backwoods Mississippi grandmother. My mom kept the recipe, and we grew up eating raw cookie dough before snacking on the cookies during the holidays. This will always be my basic cookie dough recipe. It's quick and easy to make with everyday ingredients in the most sparsely stocked kitchens. You don't have to be a master chef to get a batch of these light and buttery cookies to turn out well. Royal icing is recommended, but these are also wonderful without icing.
