Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 4 C flour
  • 2 C sugar
  • 1 C shortening (I use Crisco sticks)
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375.  Cream the sugar, shortening, pumpkin, & vanilla together.  Mix until well combined.  Mix the flour, baking soda, & ground cinnamon.  Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture & mix until combined.  Stir in the chocolate chips.  Drop by teaspoon onto an un-greased baking sheet.  Bake for 12 – 15 minutes or until set.  Cool on a rack.
