Pumpkin Cookies

This is from "Joy of Cooking."   I had all the ingredients in the house for this.  I ended up making 2 batches because 1 can of pumpkin is enough for 2 batches (and I didn't want to waste the already opened can).

For the first batch I did not add the raisins or nuts.  That was a mistake, they are much better w/the nuts and raisins.  Also, I used a basic glaze which I thought made it better.

Also, I make a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie during the Holidays which is just amazing.  I'll be posting that the next time I bake them!  This recipe is good, but not at all near as good as my other one.

Cream:
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar

Add:
1 cup pumpkin
1 egg
1 teas vanilla

Sift, then add:
2 cups flour
1 teas baking powder
1/2 teas baking soda
1/2 teas salt
1 teas cinnamon
1/2 teas allspice

Stir in:
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup raisins

Drop onto greased cookie sheet.  Bake @375 for 12-15 min.
