Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings 1 butternut squash, halved and seeded 1 ½ cups self-rising flour 1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground ginger ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg ¼ cup butter ¼ cup shortening ½ cup white sugar ⅓ cup packed brown sugar 1 egg 2 tablespoons milk ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place butternut squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool, about 15 minutes. Scoop flesh into a large bowl and mash until smooth. Mix flour, oats, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Beat butter and shortening in a bowl until blended, about 30 seconds. Add white sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add mashed squash, egg, milk, and vanilla extract; beat thoroughly until dough is combined. Fold in flour mixture. Chill dough until firm, about 2 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop 1-inch scoops of dough onto the baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving. Cook's Notes: Substitute 1 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree for the butternut squash if desired. Substitute soy milk for the milk if desired.
