Pumpkin Cookies

Here's our family pumpkin cookie recipe
Trust me - it's worth it - they are soooo good!!

wet ingredients:
3/4 c shortening/Crisco
1 1/2 c sugar
1 egg beaten
1 c pumpkin
1/4 c milk
1 c nuts (optional)

dry ingredients:
3 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cloves powder
1 tsp cinammon

Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg and pumpkin. Add dry ingredients. Add milk and then nuts. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 min. I recommend closer to 10 for softer, less cooked goodness!

Frosting:

1 1/2 c powdered sugar
1/4 c butter
1/2 tsp cinammon
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp milk or cream
