Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup oatmeal
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cups shredded carrot
  • 1 cup golden raisins

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

In medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Stir in the pumpkin and vanilla.

In separate bowl, stir together the flours, oatmeal, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and spices; stir into the creamed mixture.

Stir in carrots and raisins, and drop onto cookie sheet.  Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.  Allow to cool for a minute or two before transferring to wire racks.  Makes approximately4 dozen cookies.

Note

You may notice that there’s more sugar in the picture than the recipe calls for.  That’s because originally I mad this with a full cup (1/2 white, 1/2 brown sugar), but I thought they came out too sweet for my purposes, so I reduced it to 2/3 cup (1/3 each) in this recipe.

    I had a problem getting past the sugar and butter stage again…. ha! Also, I was reading those comments and thought “wow, that other chick named sarah loves butter and sugar too!” but that was me, in the past. at least I’m consistant.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂

Visiting my sweet tiny niece. I had the honor of being the doula at her birth and helping her come into the world. Her parents did amazingly (especially her mama) and everyone is excited to have another little girl in the family.
