Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar

Cream these together then add:

-1 egg
-1 cup pumpkin
-2 1/2 cups flour
-1 tsp baking powder
-1 tsp vanilla
-1 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp nutmeg
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1 cup chocolate chips

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Good with butter cream icing.

I typically double this recipe, that way you can use a full can of pumpkin and a full bag of chocolate chips.
