I used raw almonds and pecan halves, basically quadupled the recipe however ended up with a little extra egg white b/c the 4th one I accidentally cracked the yolk and to avoid any yolk in the mix I threw the rest of the egg in with the other yolks. So I thought I'd do one more egg just in case. Final ingredient list: 4.5 egg whites, 1 tbl water, 4 tsp vanilla, 15 cups nuts, 1 cup white granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp salt, 4 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp almond extract. I beat the eggs first then mixed into that the sugar, etc, mixing in the nuts last. I used the convection setting in my oven and baked it at 225 for 1hr 10min, stirring every 10-15 min. It's very sticky the first couple stirs. I'm pleased it turned out well since I'm planning on giving a lot of it away, as well as snacking on a whole bunch myself.

Definitely the cakey type of cobbler, which I enjoy. I don't understand the butter either - 4tbl in a 9" round seems excessive. I have made this once with 2tbl butter, 1/4 cup whole wheat flour + 1/2 all purpose white flour, and the 2 cups of peaches I sliced and froze a few months ago that hadn't quite defrosted (I was in a hurry) and had quite a bit of frozen juice around each piece. After 1 hr it still looked a little doughy in the middle so I changed my oven to convection, lowered to 325, and baked it for another 10 min. the edges were pretty brown and crunchy but not burned and the middle was cooked all the way. It isn't super sweet on it's own, which is fine for some people (ie, me), but my family liked it better with whipped cream.

I love pumpkin recipes -cookies, breads, etc- and the fact that these have fresh cranberries makes them rise above the usual pumpkin fare. I had some frozen cranberries that I used and the recipe turned out great. I used a cookie scoop so the finished product wasn't perfectly smooth or uniform but that doesn't matter to me. I also don't like orange zest nor walnuts, so I skipped those ingredients. These cookies were very moist, chewy, and dense - characteristics I really enjoy about baked pumpkin goods.
