Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup solid pack pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons warm water
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • In a medium bowl, cream the shortening and sugar until smooth. Add the egg, and vanilla; mix until fluffy. Stir in the pumpkin. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon; stir into the pumpkin mixture. Finally, stir in the raisins and walnuts.
  • Drop cookie dough by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, cookies should be light brown around the edges. Brush with the spice glaze, and transfer to racks to cool.
  • To make the spice glaze, mix confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons of warm water until there are no more lumps. Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more water.

These cookies were a bit bland. I think I should have added more spices. Other than that, they were pretty good. I liked the combination of pumpkin and raisins.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more pumpkin puree. Other than that, they were pretty good. I liked the combination of pumpkin and raisins.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The raisins added a nice sweetness and the spices gave them a nice depth of flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

Not bad, but not great either. I think they need more spices.

These cookies were a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland and they were too dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I should have used a different type of pumpkin puree. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this r
