     Title: Ms Fields Pumpkin Spice Cookies
Categories: Polkadot, Lisa, Cookies
     Yield: 36 Servings

 2 1/2 c  Flour
   1/2 ts Baking soda
   1/4 ts Salt
     2 ts Pumpkin pie spice
     1 c  Dark brown sugar; packed
   1/2 c  Sugar
   3/4 c  Butter; softened
     1 lg Egg
     1 c  Canned pumpkin
     1 ts Vanilla extract
     1 c  Raisins (6 oz)
   1/2 c  Walnuts; chopped

 Preheat oven to 300°F. Mix flour, soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice
 in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large bowl blend sugars with
 an electric mixer set a medium speed. Add the butter and beat to
 form a grainy paste. Scrape sides of bowl, then add egg, pumpkin,
 and vanilla. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the
 flour mixture, raisins, and walnuts. Blend at low speed just until
 combined. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets,
 1-1/2" apart. Bake 22-24 minutes until cookies are slightly brown
 along the edges. Immediately transfer to a cool surface.

 Speaking of cookies, I found this today.  If there is anyone here
 trying to use up that can of pumpkin in the fridge, this might do the
 trick.
