How To Make pumpkin nut & raisin cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Line sheet pans with parchment paper or spray with non stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
  • Step 2
    Beat in eggs and pumpkin.
  • Step 3
    In another bowl,mix dry ingredient ( except for raisins and nuts.) Mix into wet mixture slowly.
  • Step 4
    Stir in nuts & raisins, until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Step 5
    I used a heaping tablespoonful of batter for each cookie, a few inches apart on prepared sheet pan. Raise oven rack to the middle, so bottoms don't burn. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until no longer doughy. Don't over bake.
  • Step 6
    Can glaze if desired.
