Pumpkin Cookies
"This is from the pumpkinnook.com The sound good, so I'm sharing them with everyone. You can use canned pumpkin if you don't have fresh pumpkin. The recipe does not say how many cookies can be made, but I'm going to make a guess below. If some one decided to make this recip, let me know how many cookies can really be made and I'll change it accordingly."

Followed your recipe right on down & got almost 4 dozen cookies, in case you want to change the indicated # of servings! I did use canned pumpkin (as I almost always do with things like this) & that worked out just fine! Loved everything about these little tasties, as did a couple of kids in the neighborhood! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed as a THANK YOU for playing with us in Please Review My Recipe during the recent tour] -
Very good cookie recipe. They come out puffy, moist and cake-like. I added "Cream Cheese Frosting #6536" to the cookies for the perfect topping. I had to use margarine instead of shortening, but other than that I made the cookies exactly. Next time, I think I will leave out the raisins and put in chopped walnuts. Thanks, Student Chef!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am an Israeli-Canadian who grew up in Montreal Quebec. I love to cook, especially for family and friends, and I love to experiment with recipes and try to do different variations of the same recipe. I did do part of cooking school, but found the place stressful and all the good recipes high in fat and calories, even the good ones. I don't have a fave cookbook, but I eat kosher. I have a dream and that is to own my own B&B one of these days. I also love creative writing, and maybe I like to try make up a recipe of my own and see if I'm good at doing that.
I have to add that I do have some favourite chefs from the Food Network. They are Giada De Laurentis from Everyday Italian; Micheal Smith from Chef at Home; Jamie Oliver and everything he does; Anna Olson from Sugar; and Chef Gordon Ramsey from Hells' Kitchen and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares.
