Categories: Cookies

Ingredients

• -1 c. shortening (I used those Crisco sticks)
• -1 c. sugar
• -1 c. pumpkin (I used the canned pumpkin)
• -1 egg
• -2 c. flour
• -1 tsp. baking soda
• -1 tsp. vanilla
• -1 tsp. cinnamon
• -1/2 tsp. salt
• Frosting:
• -1 tbsp. vanilla
• -1 lb. powdered sugar
• -1 stick butter
• -8 oz. cream cheese

Directions

1. Cream shortening, sugar, and pumpkin. Add egg and mix well. Add sifted dry ingredients. Drop from spoon onto cookie sheet. Bake at 375˚ for 10-12 minutes.

2. Beat frosting ingredients until smooth. Frost cookies after they have cooked. I went ahead and added a sprinkle of cinnamon on top after frosting them.

3. there is more than 1 c. of pumpkin in the can so I think I ended up making 2 batches with it and had lots of frosting left over because it just makes a whole lot.
