We found this Pumpkin Cookie recipe in Great Grandma's cookbook. It was scribbled on a small sheet of paper with little instructions with "moderate oven" at the bottom. We made them and sent them to a family member stationed on an air craft carrier and they were a hit with him and his friends.
Sarah chose to alter it a bit by reducing the cinnamon to 1/2 tsp. and adding 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice. They are a soft cookie that Grandma enjoys as they are easy to chew -- great for toddlers, too.
