COOKIES: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Found this on the internet a couple years ago. I've made a minor change and added glaze. It's a soft cookie.

1 cup unprepared pumpkin (Libby's)
1 egg
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups AP flour
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup nuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
(orig. recipe had 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp nutmeg)
1/2 tsp. salt

Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg and pumpkin. Mix in soda, powder, spice and salt. Add the flour, nuts, and chocolate chips. Drop on a cookie sheet by teaspoon (flatten slightly since the cookies don't flatten as they bake). Bake at 375 degrees about 10 minutes.

Glaze

1 1/2 cup confec. sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. milk

I color some of the icing orange and black so it looks like Halloween and drizzle over the cookies.

Spread the word
