Another one of my long-time favorites.  Eat these up quickly, or put some in the freezer - because of their high moisture content, they mold quickly.
1 cup flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup soy margarine
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp grated orange zest
1/2 cup raisins (cookies are also good without raisins)
Combine dry ingredients. In separate bowl, cream sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Beat in pumpkin, vanilla & zest. Reduce speed to low & stir in flour mixture till combined. Stir in raisins. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes, till lightly browned. 26 calories & 1 g fat per cookie.
These are small cake-like cookies; they don't flatten as they bake. So tasty!
Edit: My math skills are pretty rusty, but I *think* I just realized that if you're going by the percentage guidelines for fat content, these are a little high. I will say, however, that I'm VERY sensitive to fats, and I've still been able to eat these without a problem. You could also experiment with cutting the margarine in half, and adding more pumpkin to compensate.
