    There's some inconsistencies in this recipe. 4 cups of flour is a bit heavy for 1 cup butter. Mentions cinnamon when making pumpkin spice but does not say how much. Mix vanilla in when creaming the butter, too difficult after wards. When requiring sifting the reference should indicated if it is 4 sifted cups or 4 cups sifted.
