GRANDMA M'S SOFT RAISIN SPICE COOKIES
I have craved these for weeks and it took me that long to find them in her collection. Grandma has been gone for two years and I miss her baking so much. I couldn't find the recipe because she called them Delicious Drop Cakes but they are cookies.

Steps:
- Cream butter and sugar.

- Mix together nuts and raisins in flour.
- Slowly add flour, spice, nuts and raisins to egg, butter and sugar.
- Add quickly baking soda dissolved in hot water.
- Mix well until all liquid comes together.
- Drop from spoon on greased pan.
- Bake 10 minutes at 350. Watch, till slightly browning on the bottom edge.
- These might take a tad longer in your oven, mine cooks high. This is just a guesstimate because Grandma just had Bake as the next instruction so time and heat was a guess for me. They are nice and soft and I have double the recipe without any problems.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it, or you can use canned pumpkin puree.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
