Ingredients

  • 2 cups shortening
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 cups canned pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 8 tablespoons milk
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Beat shortening, white sugar, and pumpkin with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl: add to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto baking sheets.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool.
  5. Meanwhile, cook brown sugar, milk, and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, until sugar is dissolved. Cool. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla: spread over warm cookies.
