We love to make these cookies as soon as the days get colder and the leaves start changing colors. (Happens pretty early here :-) They are moist, fluffy, and cake-like. We love em' as is but feel free to add chocolate chips or chopped nuts.


2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
2 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 teaspoons baking powder
4 cups flour
Cream shortening and sugar.
Add rest of ingredients and mix well.
Drop by spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350* for 8-10 minutes or until rim is lightly browned.

Those sound yummy!

Not sure if you've ever had the pumpkin/chocolate cookies they sell at Ralph's near the entrance/bakery area? But they are yummy also.. Thanks for the recipe though..
