Pumpkin Drop Cookies

 Pumpkin drop cookies

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ cup butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 cup canned pumpkin

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup raisins

½ cup chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Grease cookie sheet. Stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, soda, and nutmeg. In a mixer bowl beat butter for 30 seconds; add brown sugar and beat till fluffy. Add egg, pumpkin, and vanilla; beat well. Add dry ingredients to the beaten mixture, beating till well combined. Stir in raisins and walnuts. Dough will be soft. Drop from a teaspoon 2 inches apart onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Makes about 48

NOTE

I prefer to use parchment paper or a silicone mat instead of greasing the sheets. 

Variation to this is to leave out raisins and add 1 cup chocolate chips and pecans instead of walnuts. You can also leave it out.
