Pumpkin Cookies - THE BEST


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!
