2 cups white sugar
2 eggs - optional
1 cup shortening - butter flavor recommended
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups white or wheat flour

1
preheat oven to 365. In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugar. Blend in the pumpkin, making sure to smooth out any lumps as much as possible, then blend in the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange peel, ground cloves, and ginger. Pour half of the mixed dry ingredients from this bowl into the pumpkin mixture and fold together. Continue to add dry ingredients to the wet until completely incorporated. Add walnuts and raisins, if desired. Dough can be rolled into a tube shape in plastic wrap and frozen for slicing uniform cookies or dropped by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet for a muffin or scone-like cookie. Bake 9-11 minutes at 365 or until bottoms start to appear golden brown. Cool for 1 minute, push each cookie on the sheet to avoid further sticking and continue to cool on sheet for at least 2-3 minutes more before stacking or serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
