Time for Pumpkin!

I love Fall.  Especially this year ~ as the summer was so long.  We have had a bit of rain, cooler weather and all this makes me crave the flavors of fall.  Let's start with cookies!

Pumpkin Cookies

½ cup shortening                                         1 tsp. baking soda
1 ½ cup sugar                                              ½ tsp. salt
1 egg                                                           1 tsp. vanilla                            
1 cup pumpkin (Libby’s)                                1 tsp. nutmeg
½ cup nuts                                                   1 tsp. cinnamon
2 ½ cups flour                                              Optional:  1 cup raisins or dried
1 tsp. baking powder                                       cranberries or chocolate chips

Mix and bake at 375° for 10 minutes.  It makes about 25-30 cookies.
