These are excellent pumpkin cookies. I have made them for years. I got this exact recipe from a Libby's ad in one of the magazines in the 1980's and have made them every year since. My kids just loved them..they (and I) still do now as grownups! These are must have cookies for fall.

    Very good cookies ! The kids loved them. I made a couple of changes: 1 cup white flour and 1 whole wheat flour; half a cup brown sugar and half a cup brown sugar twin; I did not put the white sugar. I droped 1 tablespoon dough on the cookie sheet and baked for 12-15 minutes. Thank you for that wonderful recipe.

    Delicious cookies! They remind me a lot of oatmeal raisin. I found that spraying the spatula with nonstick cooking spray really helped when shaping them. I didn't think they'd end up looking like pumpkins but their appearance improved greatly when I baked them. My boys loved these. Thanks!

    I made these on an impulse for a last minute Halloween party. I followed the recipe but except for using mini chocolate chips and I did not have time to frost them. They were a huge hit. Every single one of them were eaten. Grown ups and kids alike kept going back for more. My daughter has already asked me to make more.
