At first I thought the one tablespoon cinnamon was a type-o but I made it and they are moist and GREAT.

It did take me all five cups of flour, but I substituted a cup of whole wheat flour and a cup of quick-cooking oatmeal for two of the cups. I refrigerated the dough and then rolled it into inch or more sized balls, which I then rolled in finely chopped walnuts. The cookies were cake-like, not crispy. The flavor was like you'd expect of a pumpkin spice cake. It made about seven or eight dozen. The recipe doesn't say so, but you do not need to grease your cookie sheets. For my oven it took closer to 14 minutes of baking. I require crunch to to like a cookie, but my husband liked them. The flavor was great, but not the texture, for me.

I have used this recipe for over 10 years! I use powdered buttermilk and double the canned pumpkin... The cookies are so perfect. I also use baking (parchment) paper.
