Last year I posted about these cookies on my sister blog
- The Joys of Home Educating - THEY ARE BY FAR
(IMO) The best I have ever made or eaten! I wanted to
share with all the party peeps too!
I even love them without the glaze....they are cake like 8)
Pumpkin Cookies
(given to me by a friend almost 10 yrs ago)
2 cups shortening
2 cups sugar
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
(I also add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice, but not necessary if dont have it)
2 cups of canned solid pumpkin (not pumpkin puree)
GLAZE
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
4 tablespoons milk
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup confectioners sugar
Oven to 350
cream shortening and sugar
add dry ingredients
then add pumpkin
drop teaspoon size dough onto ungreased cookie sheet
bake 10 - 15 mins (when the peaks start to brown take them out)
DONT MAKE GLAZE UNTIL COMPLETED COOLED
then drizzle over cooled cookies
They freeze well and makes A LOT of cookies
These are by far the best cookies I have found to make!
Until next time friends - Party On!
Those look amazing!
