Thanksgiving Hangover pt 2

so after thanksgiving i always seem to end up with one cup left of pumpkin. not a full can, not an empty can, but half of a can. i hate waisting food so here is what to do with that cup of pumpkin.
for these VEGAN PUMPKIN OATMEAL COOKIES you need

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/3 quick cook oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 dash pumpkin pie spice
1 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup oil
2 tablespoon molasses
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup raisins
1 cup shredded coconut

preheat over to 35o degrees. in a bowl stir together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt and spices. put that bowl aside. in a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, oil, molasses, pumpkin, and vanilla. add the flour mixture to the wet mixture. then add the raisins and coconut. scoop tablespoons of dough onto a greased cookie sheet. using your palm, push down each ball of dough, flattening the cookies. bake for 17 minutes and enjoy!
