pumpkin honey spice cookies

hi all!
as many of you know, (or maybe you don't) i've had the opportunity to do some beekeeping recently-(yes, i've been suiting up in the 'astronaut' gear) just a few weeks ago i was helping my friends harvest the honey! it is soo cool! so needless to say, i have loads of honey and have been making all kinds of goodies with fresh raw honey that i helped produce! so i thought i would share a fall honey inspired recipe with you all to try, if you like. enjoy!
Pumpkin Raw Honey Spice Cookies
1 15 oz. can pumpkin or fresh pureed pumpkin, if you have it
1 stick butter, softenedPumpkin cookies
1 cup raw honey
2 eggs
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 ¾ cups flour
1 t baking powder
½ t baking soda
½ t salt
1 t each ginger and nutmeg
1 ½ t cinnamon
½ cup chopped pecans, if desired
½ cup golden raisins, if desired

Mix together first 5 ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy.
Sift together dry ingredients.
Combine moist and dry ingredients and mix well.
Drop by rounded soup spoon onto parchment covered baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
