these are just about the BEST cookies i have ever made!...and quite easy, to boot. i found the recipe on one of the many blogs i follow but can't remember which one (so, sorry if you ever read this and i didn't give you any credit for it).
these are perfect for a crisp fall evening (after the chili and cornbread)
enjoy with a cup o' joe!
COOKIES
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (i used 2 cups for extra chocolate)
*preheat oven to 350. grease cookie sheets
*in medium bowl, cream the shortening and sugar. stir in the pumpkin and vanilla
*in separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture.
*add chocolate chips and stir by hand (i did the rest with the kitchenaid)
*bake for about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the oven (mine actually took about 16 or 17 minutes)-mine did not flatten, but looked more like fluffy small biscuits(oops, forgot to take a pic of that step-the picture below is just before they went into the oven).
CREAM CHEESE ICING
(NOTE: this recipe makes enough for 2 batches of cookies. half it, if only making one batch...or save for other pumpkin recipes)
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 lb powder sugar (oh yes, one pound...geez)
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt (which i forgot to add and they still tasted delicious)
*add all ingredients and put a dollop on cooled cookies
