Pumpkin Cookies
"I had these cookies for the first time at work. I young fellow I work with, my partner that day, brought in a plastic bag full of these. I enjoyed this so much I had to have the recipe before the end of our shift. So he called his DM out of town and she emailed it to him so I could copy it. Thanks Eric’s mom. I make these all the time now. These are just as good with or without the nuts and raisins."
