Fall is here!!!!!! Best recipes of the year, by far!!!! Mmmmmm!!!! This is for you Amy :-)

Pumpkin Cookies
Cream together:
1 c. shortening
3 c. sugar

Beat in:
2 eggs
2 c. canned pumpkin
2 tsp vanilla

Sift and Add mixing well:
5 c. flour
2 tsp. bkg powder
2 tsp. bkg soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg

(chopped nuts- optional)

Drop teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. Bake 350'F for 10-12 minutes. Don't undercook or overcook. (Don't make them too big because they will go flat. Just the right size and they puff up perfect!!!)

I just put cream cheese frosting (Pillsbury) into a ziplock and decorated them. I sprinkled them with nutmeg as garnish. They were adorable and DELICIOUS!
