Pumpkin Cookies

Last night, in the spirit of autumn, we made pumpkin cookies. They turned out very well. Unfortunately, there are no pictures. However, here is the recipe, which is from a friend of the family, Mrs. Emmett.
4 C. sifted flour                                       1 C. butter
2 tsp. baking soda                                   2 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt                                              2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cinnamon                                       2 C. canned pumpkin
1/2 tsp. nutmeg                                       2 C. either raisins, or chocolate chips
                                                               (opt. 2 C. pecans or walnuts)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Sift flour with soda, salt, and spices and set aside. Cream butter with sugar until light, add vanilla and pumpkin and mix well. Slowly add dry ingredients, then stir in raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts (or all!). Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets and bake 15 minutes until lightly browned.
