PUMPKIN GINGER COOKIES
An unexpected downpour turned a play date into chaos. I scrounged the kitchen for ingredients to whip up some goodies and found a recipe on the box of Pumpkin Quick Bread. Of course, I was distracted, and didn't have all of the original ingredients, did it a little wrong, so I will include comments as to the original recipe, but we liked them this way so much I don't think I would bother trying them any other way!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350.
- In a large bowl assemble first 6 ingredients into a crumbly cookie dough and all dry particles are moistened.
- In a separate, small bowl mix remaining sugar and cinnamon.
- Using your hands, roll cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and roll in sugar-cinnamon; place (2 inches apart) onto ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 for 12- 15 minutes until cookie tops begin to crack and are set.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet 1 minute and remove.
- Stir in idea: 1/2 Cup raisins or cinnamon-covered raisins.
- The original recipe did not call for the sugar and cinnamon in the dough, just to roll into before baking.
- I think the extra sugar made them crispy on the outside but soft inside and so we loved it but you could reduce.
- If you are not a huge spice fan like myself you could also omit the cinnamon in the dough.
- Original recipe also called for 1/4 Cup chopped crystallized ginger, but I used the ground because it was all I had on hand, this is one thing I would consider trying next time.
- My cookies also (probably with the extra sugar) cooked quickly, 11 minutes was fine for me, but will of course, vary by your oven.
