I cut back on butter and they're pretty good. Should have added chocolate chips

Cut back on the butter to firm up the cookie, I used 1 1/4 sticks. You can cut cut back a bit more if you prefer. I also cut back on the amount of spices as my family does not care for them that much. After the cookies were baked and cooled, I put a bit of lemon glaze, made with powdered sugar and lemon juice, on top of each cookie. Most baked goods with pumpkin in them tend to become over moist if stored too tightly so be sure to let the cookies have a bit of air when storing them. Hope this helps. I will be making these cookies again because my family liked them.

OK, I added more flour, more sugar and more oatmeal, then let it set awhile. My Husband baked one tray and they don't taste bad. I'm going to put a melted almond bark on for icing just to add a little flavor. He's mixing up another batch as I type, hope this one turns out better !!! Please somebody let me know if you've had any problems with this recipie ! Thanks ! ; }

Thank you for contacting us. This dough is very moist, mainly because of the pumpkin. We would have recommended baking a small batch and testing them before adding more ingredients. You said that "they don't taste bad." We believe they are much better than that. Good luck!

HELP !!! I'm making these right now for our Son's Wedding next next Friday. I added all the ingrediants as listed, but the dough is really moist. I think way to much for a cookie dough. Has anybody else had this problem ??? I've even added more flour, sugar and oatmeal. I'm ready to panic, really past that stage ! HELP !!!

I omitted the coconut and walnuts, added dried cranberries and to some chocolate chips. They went over very well....and are a moist cookie. This gave me a little variety from the same batch.

I really like cloves, but this sounds like an awful lot even to someone who likes it. Has anyone made these yet and put in that much cloves?

I made these this past weekend and they were delicious! I omitted the coconut and walnuts for texture reasons and didn't have any cloves, but they were still very sweet. They were moist but stayed together well with the oatmeal. Thanks for a great recipe!

I THINK THESE COOKIES SOUND LIKE THEY WOULD BE VERY MOIST. AND THE ADDITION OF COCONUT MAKES THEM SOUND EVEN BETTER! LOVE PUMPKIN AND COCONUT!

Can these be made without the coconut? Not sure if I'll like pumpkin and coconut together.
