 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 24 servings
 
           Bars:
      2 c  Flour
  1-1/2 c  Sugar
      2 ts Baking powder
      2 ts Cinnamon
      1 ts Baking soda
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Ground cloves
      4    Eggs; beaten
     16 oz Pumpkin
      1 c  Oil, canola; or vegetable
           Cream cheese topping:
      3 oz Cream cheese; softened
    1/4 c  Margarine or butter; soften
      1 ts Vanilla
  2-1/4 c  Powdered sugar
 
     Bars: Preheat oven to 350 . Combine flour, sugar, baking powder,
  cinnamon, soda, salt, and cloves. Stir in eggs, pumpkin, and cooking oil
  until thoroughly combined. Spread batter into an ungreased 15x10x2" pan
  (i've used a 9x13 and they just come out a little higher). Bake for 25-30
  minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool
  on wire rack, then frost with cream cheese topping. Cut into bars.
  
      Cream Cheese Topping: Beat together cream cheese, margarine or butter,
  and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually add 2 c powdered sugar,
  beating well. Gradually beat in enough remaining powdered sugar to make
  topping of spreading consistency. Cover bars and store in refrigerator.
