Spiced Pumpkin Cookies

The deep flavors of molasses, pumpkin and spices make these wholesome cookies delicious without the addition of butter--and they lend themselves beautifully to the inclusion of whole-wheat flour.

Add more spice, lose the raisins and add some chopped crystallized-ginger.....now that's a yummy fall cakish-cookie! jenniferbof3	3 weeks 4 days ago
Mmmm! These were awesome, I was craving gingerbread but didn't want all the calories, and these were a good substitute, somewhere between a cake and a cookie. Somehow I only ended up with 22 cookies, so perhaps I need to make them a little smaller? I am doing Weight Watchers program, and if you make 36 they are only 1 point a piece. My mom took two cookies and put a small scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt between them-a fall icecream sandwich! I am making more to take to the family cabin this weekend. Satisfying! feliciarock	5 weeks 4 days ago
These cookies were soft and cake-like - my friends and I referred to them as muffin tops. Definitely not what I'd call a "cookie", but they were definitely good flavor wise. Very addicting. Angelgurly12	5 weeks 5 days ago
I thought these were amazing! I altered the recipe as well in that I reduced the molasses and doubled the spices. The result was a delicious soft spicy cookie/bun! Definitely will keep this one!	5 weeks 6 days ago

My family loved this recipe. Soft, moist cookies that left everyone very happy! Barb, Boise, ID	8 weeks 4 days ago
I want to tweak the recipe more but i think they taste like pumpkin pie, with almost the same consistency in the middle. i want to find a way to make them heartier. i excluded the molasses and raisens, and substituted the wheat flour with soy protein flour. I also used a mixture of sugar, Equal, and Stevia, but it wasn't quite sweet enough, i think the Equal broke down in the cooking process. sk	8 weeks 4 days ago
I subed maple syrup for the molassas and added choc chips instead of raisins. I also added a cream cheese frosing. Whipped cream cheese, cinnamin, a little pumpkin, little vanilla, and a little sugar. Jaime, Chicago, IL	8 weeks 4 days ago
These cookies are great! I added more spices because I love ginger and cinnamon and they were really good. Easy to make and I have made them from the extra I had stored in the freezer and they still came out well. Jessica, Naples, FL	8 weeks 4 days ago
