Pumpkin Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1-1/3 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
2 cups flour
3/4 cup raisins
Directions:
- Cream shortening, sugar and eggs. Add pumpkin. Mix dry ingredients and add slowly to pumpkin mixture.
- Drop by spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.
- Frost if desired. Orange flavored frosting is good, make by adding enough orange juice to 2 cups powdered sugar to make spreading consistency.
OK, that is the end of our special Halloween series of pumpkin recipes. It has been fun spicing up the pumpkin, and I hope you enjoyed these recipes as much as I have. You can find these along with lots of other new holiday recipes on our website. Stop by anytime.
