This recipe is hand written on an old yellowed school paper by Jode. It is a delicous cookie and will forever be a favorite of mine. I am going to write it exactly as he wrote it.
PUMKIN COOKIES:
1 cup shortening (I use butter) 2 cups flour
1/2 cup light brown surgar 1 tsp soda
1 cup pumkin 1 tsp baking powder
1 egg 1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Cream shortening, and surgars. Add pumkin and eggs, vanilla. Mix well. Add sifted dry ingredients and nuts. Drop from tsp on ungreased sheet and bake 10-12 min.. Cool. Frost with penuche frosting.
Penuche Frosting:
Boil 3 Tblsp of butter and 1/2 cup brown surgar for 1 minute. Cool. Add 1/4 cup milk. Beat.
Add about 2 cups powdered sugar until spreadable.
That is exactly like he wrote it. I have made these many times........and if you like pumpkin......you will love these........they are a soft cookie and the frosting is really great.......its also good on chocolate cookies.
