Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
* 3 cups sugar
* 1 1/2 c. shortening
* 3 eggs
* 1 large can pumpkin
* 5 cups flour
* 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
* 1 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1 tbsp. nutmeg
* 1 tbsp. + 1 tsp. cinnamon
* 1 package chocolate chips
Cream together sugar and shortening. Beat in eggs and pumpkin.
Sift together flour, soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add to pumpkin mixture, blending until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
Makes about 7 dozen cookies.
(This recipe makes a double batch. The cookies freeze well, so I like to make enough to last a few weeks. If you want to half it, you can use a regular can of pumpkin instead of a large one.)
Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing!
These would be delicious right now with my coffee…
I can smell them now 🙂
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Healthier, too… all that Vitamin A! =)
They are in the oven and if they taste as good as they smell, we are in for a treat! Thanks for the recipe!
