Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup shortening or butter
1 egg, beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup raisins (I used 1/2 cup... I don't love raisins)
1 cup chopped nuts (I used very finely chopped almonds and pecans)
Try next time: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips with 1/2 cup raisins

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
3. Add and mix shortening until mixture is crumbly.
4. Stir in egg, pumpkin, oats, raisins and nuts.
5. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes or until done.

Try #1 - December 30, 2012
This are SOOOOOOOOOO good.  I mean like really good.  Like oatmeal raisin cookies only AMAZING.  Best warm out of the oven.

P.S. I think these would be good with white chocolate chips...

Try #2 - January 15, 2013
So, I wasn't quite as blown away the second time I made these... but they're still good.  I put a few chocolate chips into the last bit of dough.  I still need to try white chocolate chips...
