  Directions
(Makes about 23 to 26 cookies)

  Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
 Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and allspice. Stir to blend well.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, syrup and vanilla; 
whisk to blend. Using a flexible rubber spatula, 
gradually stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture. 
Stir in the raisins. 

 
For each cookie, drop 1 generous tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the mounds about 1 inch apart (or use a mini ice cream scoop). Using moistened fingertips(teaspoon), flatten each to a 2-inch-diameter round. 
Sprinkle each cookie with a bit more raw sugar. 

Bake the cookies until brown and a bit firm to the touch, 17 to 20 minutes. 
Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to a rack and cool completely.  

 I left the cookies cool off on the rack itself ...

These look Yummy !!!

Now time to try one or two or three  ...lol!
