Raisin Pumpkin Cookies

What do you do when you clean out your cabinets and discover you have a few baking items that are going to expire soon? You find a good cookie recipe and fire up the oven. I had some canned pumpkin that was nearing its expiration date, and since I just made a really tasty apple pie not too long ago, I thought I'd go for a sweet dessert of cookies instead. These Raisin Pumpkin Cookies from Golden Blossom Honey were begging to be made, so I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. 

Raisin Pumpkin Cookies

I know there are some who prefer their cookies to be crisp, but I am one who LOVES a soft baked cookie. I prefer a chewy, cake-like cookie so this recipe was one that I could really sink my teeth into. The pumpkin helps to bake it up soft, the raisins and walnuts add a nice texture,and the spices add a hint of warmth, making this one awesome seasonal cookie!


Ingredients
1 1/4 cups GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups solid pack pumpkin
2 1/2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped

  2. Looks quite delightful, deary, I expect tons of such festive treats here during the Halloween month :) I currently cannot bake anything as our oven broke so we bought a new one but it arrived with one of the heaters not working, so I'm currently waiting for a delivery guy to come and take it back to the repair service :( It stressed me out massively this week, and you know in which way you and I react to stress :(

    1. Oh, no! I hope you are finding ways to stay calm in such a stressful situation. I know I would be massively stressed at that kind of ordeal. Bad enough that yours broke, but to have a new one arrive defective? That would send me over the edge.

      I'm still staying away from the sugar, so I haven't made my normal amount of Halloween goodies, but I'll be attending a party tomorrow (the host is a baker) so if she has some fabulous treats on display, I'll be sure to share them over on Facebook for you :)

    2. Does that mean you don't eat anything sweet at all no more? How is your health these days? Better?

      The delivery guy took the oven away today, hope we won't wait for weeks to get it back repaired.

    3. Getting better, but still have a long way to go. I will eat stuff sweetened with honey or maple syrup, but try to avoid refined sugars. I did cheat over the weekend and had a few gummy worms at the Halloween party, but thankfully that didn't do much damage.

      Fingers crossed your oven will be up and running in no time!

    4. It cannot be fixed, they are sending us a new one, hope that one won't be broken too! I'm about to die from stress of it all!

  4. Yummy! I love pumpkin anything. I'd prob. replace the raisins with chocolate chips. I'm a chocolate crazy person.

    1. I think a chocolate substitute sounds wonderful! I know some people don't like raisins in their cookies, so that would be a great swap out for them. I personally love them, but will have to shake things up a bit next time and use chocolate chips to see which one I like better in this recipe.

  18. I use honey in a lot of my baking, some for the natural sugar, since my hubs has to watch his intake, but mostly for the flavor! It definitely enhances any dish!
