I am looking for a specific recipe. I bought the Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Cookie Magazine last year (2010). But I have recently lost it. Anyone know what the one recipe was? It was either a pumpkin cake or pumpkin bars that called for cream cheese icing in the end. I haven't found any other recipe that lived up to this one. Can anyone help me? I need it for Thanksgiving!
