these taste like old-fashioned oatmeal cookies, but with whole wheat pastry flour and pumpkin puree added, they're even healthy for you!
preheat oven to 350 degrees
spray 2 cookie sheets w/ non-stick spray
in a large bowl, mix:
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
in a medium bowl, mix:
1 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup canola oil
2 Tbs molasses
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla
add wet ingredients to dry and combine.
fold in:
1 cup pecan pieces (if you live near rooster brothers in ellsworth, substitute their maple-ginger roasted pecans instead...you won't be sorry! just break them into little pieces by hand)
1/2 cup raisins (optional...my friends all say they're perfect without and not to change a thing)
drop by tablespoons, 1" apart on cookie sheet.
bake 16 minutes at 350 degrees. cool slightly before removing from cookie sheets.

YUM!!!!! The attorney who works w/ Steve now, Terri, came into my office while I was looking at this recipe and she asked to see the others and is so impressed she had me print them out for her! :D
ReplyDeleteMade a trip to Rooster Brothers today :)
ReplyDeleteMade these today and my husband said they were the best.
ReplyDeleteI think the roasted pecans are what makes them so good.
Thank you for sharing.
