Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup cooked, pureed pumpkin (fresh or canned)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups unbleached allpurpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup raisins

Icing:

  • 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons whipping cream, fresh orange juice or rum

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add pumpkin, egg and vanilla and mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir into butter mixture until well blended. Add nuts and raisins. Drop by teaspoonful onto parchment covered baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake about 15 minutes, or until golden. Cool.

    Me and my wife made these and loved them even without the icing. We decided to use Cool Whip instead of the icing to give it just the right amount of sweetness!

    I made these for thanksgiving, and they were a huge hit! They are more cake like than a cookie, but they were great none the less. They were extremely soft and the perfect texture. The frosting makes the cookie 10 times better, so i would suggest making it. Without the frosting the cookie is too bland for me.
