ok, so i know one of the rules is to post a picture along with the recipe, but i took like 27 pictures of these and i could not for the life of me get them to turn out looking tasty so i gave up. but this is quite possibly my favorite cookie of all time. every year i can't wait for fall to come around so i have a legitimate excuse to make them. this recipe makes a ton so i usually half it if i'm just making them for my husband and i, or i'll make the whole batch and give them to visiting teaching sisters, home teachers, neighbors, etc. these are super soft super yummy cookies that are perfect with a glass of cold milk. if you're on a diet, these probably aren't the best...ps. are we supposed to be healthy on this blog??? well oh well here goes.
pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
2 c. shortening
2 c. white sugar
1 16 0z. can pumpkin puree
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder

i am making this by the end of the week.... i just have to go to my mom's to get my mixer back.
i will let you know how it turns out!
vashti and i made this cookies last night.... they turned out great! i didn't use chocolate chips because i didn't have any. they were so light and fluffy i said they were like eating clouds. i don't know if it was because the batter sat out for a little while before i baked them. anyway, they were DIVINE!!!! thanks for the recipe!
