Pumpkin-Spiced Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• ½ cup wheat germ
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground allspice
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup chopped walnuts
• ¾ cup raisins

Directions

Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. In a big bowl, mix together the flours, oats, wheat germ, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter with the coconut and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla, mixing everything well. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet until you have a nice, even dough. Fold in the walnuts and raisins last. Drop spoonfuls of dough—about a tablespoon each—onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them out a bit. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
