Very Addictive Pumpkin Cookies

Cream together:

• 1 Cup Shortening
• 2 Cups Sugar

Add and beat well:

• 1 – 15oz Can of Pumpkin
• 2 Eggs
• 1 TBSP Vanilla

Mix together and then add to creamed mixture, mixing well.

• 4 Cups Flour
• 2 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 2 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1 tsp. Nutmeg
• ½ tsp. Allspice
• 1 tsp. Salt

Stir in:

• 2 Cups Chocolate Chips

Drop rounded balls of batter (this is a wet batter) onto a greased cookie sheet.  I used a cookie scoop.  Bake at 350 for 11-14 minutes.  When edges are showing a little bit of brown- they are done.

If you are wishing for a sweeter cookie, try frosting with them with cream cheese frosting.
