Great cookie

This is a very soft moist cookie. I made them for a family reunion and everyone raved over them. My husbands aunt even begged me for the recipe. I did subtitute dried cranberries instead of the rasins. It adds a nice tartness to the pumpkin flavor..

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

I've held onto this recipe to try for over two years and today was the day. I love the moistness of the cookie. I remind myself that with the pumpkin, raisins and nuts that it is nutritional because one is not enough. I liked the icing and was glad that I only used 3 teaspoons of rum extract or it would have been too powerful of a flavor for me. I'm taking some to work tomorrow to share and see what my coworkers think..

Son's Favorite

These cookies are absolutely delightful, flavorful and a definite crowd pleaser. I omit the nuts, raisins and frosting. Instead I top each with half a pecan and then bake. These are my teenage sons favorite. I usually use 2 cups whole wheat flour and 2 cups white flour..
