Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies



From the kitchen of AnnMarie Barkwell



_______________________________________


I make these every fall. One day we started eating them before they were frosted and discovered we liked them plain too. Since then, I don't frost them.



Cream:

2 c shortening

2 c sugar

Add:

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

Add:

15 oz can pumpkin

4 c flour

2 tsp b. powder

2 tsp b. soda

1 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

Add:

2 c chocolate chips

1 c chopped walnuts, optional


Bake @ 350 , 12-13 min

Bake all the cookies before making the frosting.


Frosting:

Combine in a small pot:

3 Tbsp butter

4 Tbsp milk

1 c brown sugar

Boil for 1 minute.

Remove from heat & add:

1 c confectioner sugar

If it's lumpy, whisk it.

The frosting thickens as it cools.

Top with chocolate sprinkles.


Store loosely covered.

If they are stored in an airtight seal, they will get soggy.
