Yield: 4 dozen

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oatmeal)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup raisins

GLAZE:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice

Instructions:
Soft cakey cookies make a tasty treat during the Thanksgiving holidays.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together margarine and sugars until light and fluffy. On low speed, add pumpkin, water, egg and vanilla. Beat until well-blended. On lowest speed, stir in flour mixture, blending well. Stir in walnuts and raisins by hand.

Store dough in airtight container in refrigerator until ready to bake.

WHEN READY TO BAKE:

Use cookie scoop to drop dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10 - 15 minutes or until edges are golden and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely.

While cookies are cooling, sift powdered sugar into a small bowl. Add orange juice a tablespoon at a time, (whisking with small whisk) until desired consistency; mix well. Frost cooled cookies.

DO NOT UNDERCOOK THESE COOKIES - they should be soft and cakey.

Be sure to cool completely before frosting.
