PUMPKIN OATMEAL COOKIES

(This is really just a standard oatmeal cookie recipe, sort of, with half as

much sugar and pumpkin substituted for the butter. I made it w/ choc. chips, dried cranberries and raisins. I did not use as much oats as it called for b/c the mix seemed very dry. Add more spice.)



1 cup canned or cooked pumpkin

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cloves

3 cups oatmeal

1 cup raisins/ choc chips



Thoroughly mix pumpkin and brown sugar; then beat in egg substitute.

Gradually mix in flour, soda, and spices, then mix in oatmeal and raisins.

Drop by spoonfuls on non-stick or oil-sprayed cookie sheets. Bake at

350 degrees for 10-20 minutes. Makes 4-5 dozen.
