Pumpkin Cookies with Caramel Icing
Cookies
1 cup shortening (I used ½ cup margarine and ½ cup butter)
1 cup sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
1 t vanilla
2 cups flour
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
½ t ginger
1 t salt
Heat over to 350. Cream shortening and sugar. Add pumpkin, egg and vanilla. Sift and add dry ingredients. Drop by teaspoonful on cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 mins. Yields 5 dozen.
Icing
3 T butter
¾ t vanilla
4 T milk
½ c brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Combine butter, vanilla, milk, brown sugar. Cook, stirring constantly to rolling boil. Cool. Stir in powdered sugar. Generously frost cookies while warm. Return icing to heat if too thick.
Cookies will appear raised when cooked. Frosting will melt on top of cookie.
