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.

Icing unnecessary
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I don't know why people complain when they think recipes don't have enough spice in them. Don't you taste the batter? The... recipe just needed a little bit more cinnamon and nutmeg than it called for, so add more to taste. With the extra cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, it really didn't need the icing so I didn't bother making it. These cookies were definitely cakey, almost like pumpkin muffins... but on a cookie sheet. But let me make it clear that the cookies being cakey is a VERY good thing.Read more

Best Punkin' Cookies Ever!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were amazing! We ate every last one since yesterday and want more! The texture is perfect - it is soft but not mushy. I... used half white flour, half whole wheat pastry flour. I added 1/2 cup of brown sugar on top of the white as per recommendations here and I doubled all the spices plus vanilla and added a little clove and ginger. FANTASTIC!! They were great even w/ out icing but the icing made them even more sublime! I used clementine juice 'cause that's all that was in my fridge. Will be making again and again!Read more

A friend told me about pumpkin cookies so I decided to make them for my daughter's homecoming parade that she was... participating in a float to go along with hot chocolate and wow they are so good! I personally do not like walnuts so I substituded pecans as well as golden raisins and used orange juice in the glazeRead more

These are delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

An easy cakelike cookie. I used 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 a teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/8 a teaspoon of ginger and all spice.... Perfect for that pumpkin craving! Next time I think I'll use some almond flavoring for the icing. Enjoy. Monrovia,CaRead more
