A good old-fashioned pumpkin cookie packed with raisins. Add some chopped nuts, if you like.*

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1½ cup(s)

Pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp(s)

Baking soda

½ tsp(s)

Table salt

tsp(s)

Packed brown sugar

cup(s), dark variety

Unsalted butter

2 tbsp(s), at room temperature

Molasses

2 tbsp(s), blackstrap-variety

Canned pumpkin

½ cup(s), puree

Golden seedless raisins

¾ tbsp(s), finely chopped

Powdered sugar (confectioner's)

2 tsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a large cookie sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, sift together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, puree sugar, butter and molasses until well-blended; add pumpkin and mix again.
  4. Slowly add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture in small amounts, mixing after each addition. Add raisins; mix well to make sure they are well distributed throughout dough (dough will be sticky).
  5. Scoop out 16 heaping tablespoons of batter and place on prepared cookie sheet. Working with wet hands, roll each mound into a ball and flatten each mound into a disk. Bake until cookies turn slightly dark brown, about 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
