Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin and more Cookies

These turned out so yummy. I found the original recipe online at cooks.com but I made so many modifications that I feel it is my own now. Perfect for that pumpkin and spice crave. Sorry no picture, we ate them too fast.

Ingredients:
1 C Flour
1 C Whole-wheat flour (I used hard-white wheat in case you wanted to know or cared)
1 1/3 C Old-Fashioned oats
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ginger
1/4 tsp Cloves
1/2 tsp Salt
2 sticks Butter (I used real butter - I never trust margarine in cookies)
1 C Brown Sugar
1 C Granulated Sugar
1 C Pure Pumpkin
1 Large Egg
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 C Raisins
1/2 C Dried Cranberries
3/4 C Chocolate Chips

**After it was all mixed up together I ended up adding an extra 1/3 C Oats and about 1/4 C White Flour because I felt it was too moist and sticky. Use your judgement.

PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees.

Combine 1st 9 ingredients (all dry). Whisk together well. Set aside
Cream butter and sugars. Add pumpkin, egg and vanilla. Beat until well mixed.
Stir in dry ingredients along with raisins, cranberries and chips and if you want walnuts or something that would be yummy too ;)
Check if it needs a little more flour and oats.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Yielded 3 1/2 dozen and a couple of my batches were really big cookies.
Hope you enjoy!!
