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

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.
