Pumpkin Cookies



¾ cup shortening

1 cup sugar

2 eggs and 1 egg white

15 oz. can pumpkin

½ tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. pumpkin spice - (OR ½ tsp. nutmeg and ½ tsp. cloves)

3 cups flour

Lots of chocolate chips

Cream the shortening and sugar together. Add the eggs one at a time beating after each one. Add the rest of the ingredients. The batter will be thick and sticky and fluffier than regular cookie dough. Spoon the dough by the teaspoonful onto the cookie sheet. Smaller bite size cookies bake better and are addictive!

BAKE @ 375 for 12 minutes (Don’t overcook and dry them out.)
