Pumpkin Cookies

These were really good. I usually only eat cookies when they're hot out of the oven, but these were good cool. =)
Also, the whitish spots in the photo are NOT mold, of course. They are melted green and blue chocolates...
Makes about 4 dozen cookies

2 cups flour
2 cups oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons molasses
1 cup pumpkin
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup M&M baking bits (optional - they are very good with out chocolate)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Cream butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Add molasses, pumpkin, egg, and vanilla, beating well after each addition. Add cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Mix well. Gradually add flour and then oats. Stir in walnuts, raisin and M&Ms.
