Spicy Pumpkin Cookies

The spicy aroma of home-baked cookies makes it almost impossible to not eat them warm from the oven. So, if you end up with extra frosting you'll know why.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If pumpkin pie spice isn't handy, use 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger instead.

You can add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.

Sprinkle the tops of the frosted cookies with pumpkin pie spice or ground nutmeg for an extra flavor boost and a special look.

In place of the butter, you can use 1/4 cup vegetable oil.

These cookies were very easy to make but taste very mediocre. I added pecans and and craisins instead of raisins. I guess I don't care for the cakey texture when I'm eating a cookie. I would only make these again if I had pumpkin I needed to use before it went bad.

Absolutely wonderful! The easiest cookies I've ever made. I made them as instructed but substituted pecans for the raisins and added a little brown sugar, about 1/2 a cup. I cooked them for 12 minutes as I prefer them soft and they were excellent. My hungry family ate them all that night! Thanks!
