Oatmeal Pumpkin Raisin Cookies



Yet another pumpkin recipe.  This one was delicious.   Pumpkin is low in saturated fats, low in cholesterol, and sodium and a good source of vitamin E, fiber, vitamin A,C and K.  Also an excellent source of beta carotene which is high in antioxidents which keeps bad cells out.  This combined with the uber nutrition of oats, which is extremely high in fiber and aids in keeping digestive system moving, which in turn helps to prevent high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
 2 cups flour
1 1/3 old fashioned oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup(two sticks) of butter
1 cup packed brown sugar softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup raisin
preheat at 375
combine butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree and vanilla in a bowl, in a seperate bowl combine flour, oats, baking soda, combine with wet ingredients
when completely mixed add raisins.
Drop spoon fulls of batter on a cookie sheet, place an inch apart
