Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies (from here)

Note: I just made these, and they are SO GOOD. I started making them before I realized that I didn't have any eggs. So, I added a little extra pumpkin and they turned out great. I'll probably do the same thing next time. I think I'm going to make some cream cheese frosting to go with them. I also used chocolate chips instead of raisins and left out the nuts....which is probably why they are even better! haha
