The recipe I'm sharing today is for one of my favorite Fall cookies. When I first found this recipe, I wasn't so sure about the whole chocolate and pumpkin thing. These are really good though. Moist and really soft!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies~
1/2 c. shortening
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 c. canned pumpkin
1 t. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. ground nutmeg
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. In large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg , then stir in the pumpkin and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon;gradually mix into the creamed mixture. Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on wire racks.
Happy Fall!
