Pumpkin Nut Cookies Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pumpkin Nut Cookies Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give two cookie sheets a light greasing to ensure your delicious treats don’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat the shortening until it’s creamy and smooth.

3. Step 3

   Slowly add in the white sugar, continuing to mix until the blend becomes light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, gently fold in the solid-pack pumpkin and the beaten eggs, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger.

5. Step 5

   This aromatic blend will elevate your cookies to the next level! Gradually stir this dry mixture into the pumpkin mixture, being careful not to overmix—just blend until you see no dry flour.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to add some texture! Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Step 7

   Using a teaspoon, drop dollops of the cookie dough onto your prepared cookie sheets, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart to give them room to spread.

8. Step 8

   Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are firm and just starting to turn golden brown.

   The delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen will be a sure sign that something special is happening! Enjoy the anticipation as you wait for your cookies to cool before indulging in these warm, spiced treats.
