Pumpkin (and Choc Chip) Cookies
from: Ember Marini
Be prepared to either freeze or share these cookies...supposedly it makes 5 dozen, but I made a lot more! They sure are good though!
Ingredients
4cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
2 cups vegetable shortening
2 cups white sugar
1 can (15oz) pure pumpkin
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups raisins or chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice in medium bowl. Beat shortening and sugar in a large mixer bowl. Add pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla beat until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture at low speed until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto a greased baking sheet (don't make your cookies to big or they will be gooey.)
Bake 12-15mins or until edges are golden brown. Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely.
Freeze Cookies: You can make your cookie balls, flash freeze them on a cookie sheet, then put them into a tupperware/rubbermaid container in the freezer for the next time you want to bake just a few! :)
