Here's another recipe that I had to make twice, just to be sure I got it right. The first time I made it, I was sure that I didn't bake them long enough (which was probably right). The cookies seemed to rise nice and round like you would expect pumpkin cookies to do, but then they cooled flat and chewey. I had more pumpkin, so I decided to try them again. This time I baked them about 14 minutes (instead of 10). The cookies still cooked flat and chewy, but less doughy. It's a good cookie, just not and puffy, cake-like pumpkin cookie that you see in the store bakeries. Oh, and I didn't bother with the raisins and nuts called for in the recipe. Just used a full package of chocolate chips.

1 tsp. cinnamon
