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.
