Ingredients
  

COOKIES:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted (2 sticks) (I softened mine instead of melting)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. real vanilla extract
  • 15 oz. can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 3/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

ICING:

  • 1 lb. confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tbsp. powdered milk
  • pinch salt
  • 1 cup Crisco shortening (no substitutes)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • pinch cinnamon sprinkled over top of the icing on each cookie

Instructions
 

COOKIES:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Soften butter.
  • Add sugars, vanilla, pumpkin, egg, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Stir in flour and chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the cookie dough with a small cookie scoop and place on cookie sheets that have been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake the cookies 15-20 minutes or until set.
  • Rotate cookie sheets on racks after eight minutes.
  • Cool completely before spreading icing on top.

ICING:

  • Thoroughly mix confectioner’s sugar, milk and salt.
  • Cream shortening and dry ingredients.
  • Gradually add water and beat at high speed until fluffy.
  • Spread one to two tablespoons on top of each cookie.
  • Immediately sprinkle lightly with cinnamon (before the icing dries).

Notes

NOTE: If you want the cookie to spread a little more, decrease the flour to 3 ¾ cups.
