  •       1/2  cup  firmly packed brown sugar
  •       1/4  cup  margarine or butter -- softened
  •          3         eggs
  •          3  cup all purpose flour
  •          3  ts    baking powder
  •           2 ts     pumpkin pie spice
  •        1/3 cup  chopped mixed nuts

Direction:

 Heat oven to 350.  Spray 1 large or 2 small cookie sheets with nonstick
 cooking spray.

 In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar and margarine; beat until well
 blended.  Add eggs; beat well.  Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level
 off.  Stir in flour, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice; mix well.  Stir in
 nuts.

 With spray-coated hands, shape dough into 3 rolls, about 7 inches long.
  Place rolls at least 3 inches apart on sprayed cookie sheet; flatten each to
 form 3/4 inch thick rectangle, about 3 inches wide and 7 inches long.

 Bake at 350 for 18-25 minutes or until rectangles are light golden brown and
 centers are firm to the touch.  Place rectangles on wire racks; cool 5
 minutes.

 Wipe cookie sheet clean.  With serrated knife, cut each rectangle into 1/2
 inch slices; place, cut side up, on cookie sheet.

 Bake at 350 for 6 to 8 minuts or until top surface is slightly dry.  Turn
 cookies over; bake an additional 6 to 8 minutes or until top surface is
 slightly dry.  Remove cookies from cookie sheets; cool completely on wire
 racks.  Store tightly covered.  Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
