Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is a cookie which my friend Randy and I made every October in our first years of teaching. I make them every year because they are sooo yummy!
Here’s the recipe:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.Cream together:
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup shortening
Beat in 1 egg
Mix in and alternate with 1 cup pumpkin:
1 & 1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 & 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 baking soda
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Stir in (except for the chocolate chips other things are optional):
6 oz chocolate chips
1 cup raisins ( I use the yellow ones)
1 cup chopped nuts
Spoon on cookie sheet. Bake 14-16 minutes.
Sounds yummy!
