1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs
1 c. cooked pumpkin
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/2 c. raisins (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix everything together, except the nuts and raisins in large bowl. Add nuts and raisins, and mix until blended.

Take a teaspoon and drop rounded spoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Leave about 3 inches between spoonfuls, so cookies can spread out. Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 to 15 minutes.
