These Pumpkin Cookies are a favorite each time I bake them. When Nick was in football, I used to always bake for the team and the cookies were always requested. They are great for bake sales, gifts, to serve at a Fall Party or just snack on them.

The ingredients are like most cookies – flour, sugar, butter, eggs, etc. With the addition of raisins, dried cranberries and walnuts. This was the first time I have tried the Golden Raisins, and I really liked their flavor in the cookie and to snack on.
