Ingredients

  • 2 c. shortening
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (29 oz.) large can pumpkin or 3 1/2 c.
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3 tsp. cinnamon

Method

  • Stir together eggs, sugar, shortening, vanilla and pumpkin. (I use an electric mixer.) Mix in a separate bowl the flour, soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture, a cup at a time, to make sure it gets mixed thoroughly. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. (I use Reynolds Wrap nonstick release.) Bake at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes.
